  • Pooled human liver microsomes were incubated in the presence or absence of various chemicals, as described under “Materials and Methods.” The rates are expressed as a percentage of control (minus inhibitor) activity. The chemicals are listed according to which P450 enzyme they inhibit. Results are shown as the means of duplicate determinations.
