ABSTRACT
The effects of chronic di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) on liver microsomal activity were studied in rats. Daily doses of 50 and 500 mg/kg for 4 weeks did not affect O-demethylation, aromatic hydroxylation, N-demethylation, C3-hydroxylation, styrene monooxygenase, glutamic-oxalacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminases (GOT, GPT). Inhibition of glutathione-S-transferase A and C and induction of epoxide hydrase, glutathione-S-transferase B and nitroreductase activity were instead observed. Protein, cytochrome P-450 and reduced glutathione levels in liver did not appear to be affected by DEHP pretreatment.
