Rats were treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of ethylbenzene in corn oil and the effects on cytochrome P450 3A-dependent activities, immunoreactive protein levels and RNA levels were examined. Ethylbenzene increased both P450 3A-dependent 2β-hydroxylation of testosterone and immunoreactive protein levels. These levels were maximally induced by 24 hr and diminished thereafter. Despite the increases in P450 3A protein, neither P450 3A1 nor P450 3A2 mRNA levels were altered by treatment with the hydrocarbon. These results clearly demonstrate that this P450 isozyme can be induced by either translational activation or stabilization of P450 3A protein and are suggestive of an elevation of P450 3A2 levels.
