Popis: | Biotransformation of chlordiazepoxide was studied in mice following a single 1000-rad dose of hepatic irradiation. Meabolic N-demethylation of chlordiazepoxide in irradiated mice was impaired when tested 3 days after irradiation. No such effect was observed in mice tested 3 weeks or 6 weeks after irradiation. Thus, hepatic irradiation appeared to produce short-lived, reversible impairment of drug-metabolizing function. The effect was small and of uncertain biological significance. |
