    Notes: 1. Omeprazole, a substituted benzimidazole and a potent gastric antisecretory drug has been tested for inhibition of microsomal drug oxidative function in the rat.2. A single dose of 40 mg/kg prolonged pentobarbitone sleeping times from 118 (range 73–168) min to 195 (159–222) min (P 〈 0.01), pentobarbitone half-lives from 89 (63–114) to 112 (54–146) min (P 〈 0.05) and aminopyrine breath 14CO2 half-lives from 43 (37–51) to 56 (49–79) min (P 〈 0.05). Omeprazole in doses of 20 mg/kg or less had no significant effect.3. In prolonging pentobarbitone sleeping times omeprazole 40 mg/kg and an equimolar (30 mg/kg) dose of cimetidine were approximately equipotent.4. These results contrast with studies in man in which much smaller doses of omeprazole have been shown to produce clinically significant inhibition of drug metabolism.

    Notes: 1. There has been interest in the suggestion that enzyme-inducing drugs, such as anticonvulsants, may produce beneficial changes in lipoprotein levels, in particular a rise in the ratio of high density lipoprotein cholesterol to total cholesterol.2. This controlled study observed the effects of diets of charcoal or oven-cooked beef on antipyrine clearance (a commonly used measure of drug metabolizing capacity), the apparent oral clearance of phenacetin (a measure of cytochrome P448-dependent enzyme activity) and blood lipids in 18 healthy volunteers.3. Charcoal-cooked beef increased antipyrine clearance by an average of 20% (P 〈 0.059) and increased the apparent oral clearance of phenacetin fivefold (P 〈 0.01). In contrast, oven-cooked beef did not significantly alter either measure of microsomal function. Neither diet had any effects on blood lipids.4. We conclude that the type and degree of enzyme induction achieved by this type of dietary manipulation does not produce beneficial changes in lipoprotein profiles. A previously noted rise in high density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in volunteers fed charcoal-cooked beef may have been due to the effects of charcoal formed by charring of the beef during cooking.

    Notes: 1. Plasma noradrenaline (NA) and adrenaline (AD) concentrations and locomotor activity were measured in conscious normal and adrenalectomized guinea-pigs before and after injection of a single dose of morphine (15 mg/kg) and following precipitation of withdrawal with naloxone 2 h later. Arterial blood samples were obtained via carotid catheters inserted 3 days before experiment. Normal guinea-pigs given saline instead of morphine were used as controls.2. Increased locomotor activity occurred following naloxone injection in both intact and adrenalectomized morphine-treated guinea-pigs.3. Plasma AD concentration was significantly elevated only during the naloxone- precipitated withdrawal period, whereas plasma NA concentration was also elevated during the morphine treatment period. No significant changes occurred in saline-treated guinea-pigs given naloxone.4. In adrenalectomized guinea-pigs AD did not reach detectable levels in the plasma at any time during the experiments, thus showing that the increased plasma AD level during morphine withdrawal in normal animals reflected adrenal medullary release.5. It was concluded that measurements of plasma AD concentration and locomotor activity in guinea-pigs should be useful for the study of the interactions between behavioural and autonomic mechanisms involved in opiate dependence and withdrawal, since the effects of morphine and morphine withdrawal on the autonomic nervous system are clearly different in this species.
