The ability of phenobarbital and β‐naphthoflavone to induce parathion desulfuration, aminopyrineN‐demethylation, and NADPH–cyto‐chrome‐creductase activity in the brain and liver of male and female rats was investigated. Activities of all three enzymes were found in similar levels in both the mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of brain. There were no sex differences in brain activities. Liver activities were from 10‐ to 30‐fold higher than brain activities when computed on a tissue‐wet‐weight‐equivalent basis. Although exposure to both inducers increased all three enzyme activities and cytochromeP‐450 in liver, neither inducer increased the enzyme activities in mitochondrial or microsomal brain fractions of either sex. Thus, these brain monooxygenase activities appear to be refractory to induction by two classical types of cytochromeP‐450 inducers. This lack of inducibility could serve to protect the animal against environmentally enhanced increases in the activation of xenobiotics to neurotoxic metabolites, such as parathion desulfuration to paraoxon.
