The effect of dietary vitamin E on in vivo and in vitro damage by methyl ethyl ketone peroxide (MEKP) to cytochrome P-450 and its associated enzymatic activity was studied. In vivo, MEKP damaged microsomal cytochrome P-450 and cytochrome P-450-mediated peroxidases
Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets for four weeks which differed in their content of n-6 (corn oil; CO) and n-3 fatty acids (fish oil; FO), but were similar in their content of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and
