The administration of Xiao-Chaihu-Tang (TJ-9) for 2 weeks induced a 25% increase in the content of cytochrome P-450 in female rat liver microsomes, while the content in male rats remained unchanged. The enzymatic activities toward various xenobiotics were stimulated in female rats, the levels being in the range of 125-250% of those in the control rats. Among these xenobiotics, the metabolic rates for substrates of cytochrome P-450 2E1 were significantly enhanced in female rats. On the other hand, the activities toward various xenobiotics in male rats were unchanged. When 3-methylcholanthrene was given to rats for a week, the augmentation of cytochrome P-450 content and the stimulation of xenobiotic metabolism were observed. However, co-administration of TJ-9 did not alter the effect of 3-methylcholanthrene described above.

D003577 Cytochrome P-450 Enzyme System A superfamily of hundreds of closely related HEMEPROTEINS found throughout the phylogenetic spectrum, from animals, plants, fungi, to bacteria. They include numerous complex monooxygenases (MIXED FUNCTION OXYGENASES). In animals, these P-450 enzymes serve two major functions: (1) biosynthesis of steroids, fatty acids, and bile acids; (2) metabolism of endogenous and a wide variety of exogenous substrates, such as toxins and drugs (BIOTRANSFORMATION). They are classified, according to their sequence similarities rather than functions, into CYP gene families (>40% homology) and subfamilies (>59% homology). For example, enzymes from the CYP1, CYP2, and CYP3 gene families are responsible for most drug metabolism.
