Abstract

Microsomal electron transport components (NADPH oxidase, NADPH-ferricyanide reductase, cytochromes P-450 and b5) have been studied in Buffalostrain rat liver and in a series of Morris hepatomata (9618A-2, 7800, 7795 and 7787). Normal liver values differed significantly from those measured in livers of tumourbearing animals. In all hepatomata per se, very low levels were found.
