Popis: MANY mixed function1 oxygenases are membrane-bound multicomponent enzyme systems which require NADPH and molecular oxygen for the oxidative metabolism of polycyclic hydrocarbons, drugs and insecticides, as well as numerous lipophilic endogenous substrates2–4. Any day to day fluctuations in these enzyme activities may therefore influence the intensity and duration of drug action and also the rate of metabolism of chemical carcinogens, insecticides and many normal body substrates.
