| Abstract | Primary monolayer cultures of nonproliferating parenchymal cells prepared from adult rat liver and maintained in serum-free medium responded to additions of phenobarbital with concentration-dependent increases in synthesis and accumulation of a cytochrome P-450 protein immunochemically and catalytically indistinguishable from that found in the livers of adult rats treated with phenobarbital. Maximal stimulation of the rate of synthesis of this cytochrome protein by phenobarbital, as much as 20-fold higher than in control cultures (1.01% of the rate of synthesis of total cellular protein), could be achieved when the drug was first added to cultures no older than 24 hr and then was maintained in the medium for 96 hr. In addition to phenobarbital, chemicals classified as 'phenobarbital-like' inducers in vivo (mephenytoin, mirex, 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexabromobiphenyl) induced synthesis in culture of this same immunoreactive protein. Supplementation of the medium with 0.1 microM H2SeO3 plus phenobarbital produced an average 2-fold enhancement in the rate of synthesis of this inducible cytochrome protein as compared to that in cultures receiving phenobarbital alone. Inasmuch as there was a decline in selenium content and in the activity of the seleno-enzyme glutathione peroxidase in hepatocyte cultures maintained in standard culture medium for more than 24 hr, the added selenium appears to correct a spontaneously acquired cellular deficiency in selenium. Contrary to the concept that liver cells placed in culture promptly dedifferentiate with general loss of specialized functions such as cytochrome P-450, our data demonstrate that expression of the phenobarbital-inducible form of cytochrome P-450 is not extinguished in culture, but rather it is masked transiently and is attenuated as the cells adapt to the imperfect conditions of the culture environment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
