1 Styrene monomer primarily induces CYP2B1 mRNA in rat liver. Styrene cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
2 The amount of CYP2B1 mRNA was significantly increased, 47-fold compared with controls, suggesting that this CYP is the primary cytochrome P450 in rats exposed to styrene. Styrene cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
3 Western blot analysis also indicated that the protein levels of CYP2B1, CYP2B2, CYP2E1 and CYP1A2 showed clear increases after styrene treatment, corresponding to their mRNA expression. Styrene cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
4 The results demonstrate that CYP2B1 is the primarily induced CYP form by styrene treatment to rats at acute toxic level. Styrene cytochrome P450, family 2, subfamily b, polypeptide 1 Rattus norvegicus
