Note : Result: Cytochrome P-450 levels in corn oil-fed rats were significantly higher than in rats fed the fat-free diet. A significantly higher 'concentration' of cytochrome P-450 available for CO binding was observed in rats fed the 10% corn oil diet than in rats fed fat-free diet. However, the increased concentration of cytochrome P-450 measured by CO binding was not supported by direct measurement of proteins in the molecular weight range of cytochrome P-450 using quatitative fluorescence gel electrophoresis. Dietary supplementation with polyunsaturated fatty acids may provide a lipid environment which modulated cytochrome P-450 to a conformation more accessible to the binding of CO, drugs, and other xenobiotics.
