[Effect of 1,4-benzodiazepine tranquilizers on the activity of the hepatocyte hydroxylating complex and glucose-6-phosphatase in white rats].

Intraperitoneal administration of diazepame and phenazepame into rats /at a dose 50 mg/kg/ within 4 days did not induce liver microsomal enzymes. After administration of chlordiazepoxide at the same dose content of cytochrome P-450 was increased and the rate of dimethylaniline demethylation was elevated. Content of protein as well as NADPH-cytochrome-c-reductase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities were increased after intraperitoneal administration of all the preparations at a dose 100 mg/kg within 4 days. Experiments on the potentiation of hexenal effect demonstrated the decrease in the time of sleep in animals, treated with chlordiazepoxide at a dose 100 mg/kg of body weight.
