Serum low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration and the ratio between them, major risk factors of coronary heart disease, and liver size were investigated in 18 subjects who were on enzyme-inducing anticonvulsants, phenytoin alone or in combination with phenobarbital and/or carbamazepine. The subjects with a high liver cytochrome P-450, indicating hepatic microsomal enzyme induction, who showed an increase in liver size, had an elevated high-density lipoprotein concentration and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol/total cholesterol ratio, and a reduced low/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio. The high-density lipoprotein cholesterol concentration and its ratio to total cholesterol were directly and related to the ratio between low and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol were inversely related to the extent of liver enlargement. The serum cholesterol distribution profile associated with an increase in liver size was typical of subjects with a low risk of coronary heart disease. The results suggest that enzyme-inducers, such as phenytoin and phenobarbital, induce structural and functional changes in hepatocellular membranes associated with liver enlargement and cholesterol distribution characteristic of low susceptibility of atherosclerotic vascular disease.
