Incubations were conducted at a bufuralol concentration of 10 μM. Control values represent inhibition in the presence of no additional protein or phospholipid. Microsomal protein concentration in the control was 0.0088 mg/ml. Assays were conducted in duplicate. Each value represents the mean with standard errors in parentheses.
