1 Indeed, Kepone treatment actively suppressed induction of 2B1 and 2B2 mRNAs in hepatocytes cotreated with phenobarbital. Phenobarbital UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B17 Rattus norvegicus
2 Treatment with chloral hydrate (3 x 10(-3) M), like Kepone (10(-5) M), suppressed 2B1/2 mRNA induction following phenobarbital (10(-4) M) treatment, while Kepone alcohol (10(-5) M), which is not a gem-diol, produced less suppression. Phenobarbital UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B17 Rattus norvegicus
3 Our results suggest that selective induction by Kepone of 2B2 is unlikely related to its effects as a weak classical estrogen, while the ability of Kepone to suppress induction of 2B1 and 2B2 by PB may be related to its properties as a gem-diol. Phenobarbital UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B17 Rattus norvegicus
