Modulation of the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) by varying the ascorbic acid and food intake was investigated. Hepatic activity of the FMO in ascorbic acid-deficient guinea pigs fed a restricted amount of diet which resulted in a 10-15% body weight loss, was 17% of that in animals fed restricted amounts of the adequate diet. FMO hepatic activity in ascorbic acid-supplemented guinea pigs on a food-restricted regimen was 176% of that found in animals fed the adequate diet ad libitum. This increase in activity was not related to stress. Alteration in the activity of this important drug-metabolizing enzyme system by a combination of ascorbic acid deficiency and reduced food intake could potentially alter the rate of metabolism of a great variety of pharmaceutical drugs and environmental chemicals.
