Evidence for the catabolism of polychlorinated biphenyl-induced cytochrome P-448 by microsomal heme oxygenase, and the inhibition of delta-aminolevulinate dehydratase by polychlorinated biphenyls

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) are potent inducers of hepatic microsomal CO-binding hemoprotein P-448 (P1-450) and of delta- aminolevulinate synthetase (ALAS) activity. Inorganic cobalt was able to block PCB induction of cytochrome P-448 and to modify the PCB effect on ALAS activity in a time-depen...
