Abstract
The activity of NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase in liver microsomes of 10- to 60-day-old rats was determined. Neither the half life time of cytochrome P-450 reduction nor the absolute amount of cytochrome P-450 reduced per time unit depend on age. Phenobarbital pretreatment enhances the reduction rate in all age groups. The addition of hexobarbital or ethylmorphine to microsomal suspension accelerates the reduction of cytochrome P-450 in some age groups only. Age differences corresponding to developmental changes in drug-metabolizing activities are not detectable. The NADPH-cytochrome P-450 reductase seems to be not responsible for the age dependence of drug metabolism.
