In experiments on male Wistar rats it has been found that nifedipine applied in a dose of 10 mg/kg body weight i.p. daily for 20 days did not significantly increase the total amount of cytochrome P-450 but markedly increased the 7 alpha-, 16 beta- and 6 beta-hydroxylation of androstenedione in liver microsomes, suggesting the induction of cytochromes P-450a, P-450b and P-450p respectively. The induction of cytochrome P-450b was also confirmed immunochemically with polyclonal antibodies against cytochrome P-450b/e.
