TABLE 1

Effect of PEITC on the 7-EFC O-de-ethylation activity, P450 concentration, and the amount of heme remaining for human CYP2E1

Assay conditions were as described in Materials and Methods. Samples were first dialyzed before reconstitution with fresh reductase. The values shown represent the means ± S.D. from two experiments done in duplicate.
