Abstract
Human recombinant interleukin 6 (rhIL-6) caused a dose dependent decrease in the phenobarbital induction of benzyloxyresorufin O-deethylase activity in cultured rat hepatocytes. Decreased enzymatic activity was associated with a decrease in the amount of immunoreactive P-450IIB1/2. rhIL-6 also prevented the PB-induced increase in the steady state level of P-450IIB mRNA. These results suggest that altered P-450 levels observed in vivo during the acute phase reaction may be due to interleukin 6.Entities:
