TABLE 4

P450 inhibition of m/z 217 formation by liver microsomes from BNF-treated mice

Incubations were conducted for 30 min at 37°C with 0.06 mM IQ. Furafylline was preincubated for 10 min before addition of IQ. For those incubations, the control microsomal activity was 0.31 ± 0.02 nmol, which is not different from the control value above. Data are expressed as mean nanomole of m/z 217 ± S.E. with n = 3 to 6.
