Popis: The effect of cimetidine and ranitidine administration on hepatic drug-metabolizing enzyme activity was investigated in 7 healthy volunteers using the ratio of 6-hydroxycortisol (6-OHF) to total 17-hydroxycorticosteroids (17-OHCS) in 24 hr urine as an index of the hepatic P-450-dependent enzyme system. Although the ratio of 6-OHF to 17-OHCS in different individuals varied from 0.043 to 0.074, the values obtained in three trials at one month intervals are highly reproducible within the same subjects. In contrast with very little effect of ranitidine ingestion at a 150 mg dose on hepatic P-450 systems, oral cimetidine administration at a dose of 200 mg four times a day immediately reduced the ratio from 0.058±0.008 to 0.045±0.009 (mean±S.
