The effect of Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch (GRZ) aqueous extract and one of its active principles Glycyrrhetinic acid (GRT) on hepatic cytochrome P450 in mice were investigated. Oral administration of GRZ at 10g/kg/d or GRT at 50 mg/kg/d for 7 days was foulld to increase the P450 contents up to 4.6 fold compared with the controls. The activities of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase (AHH,3. 1 and 3. 3 fold), aminopyrine N-demethylase (ADM, 4. 2 and 3. 2 folds), and 7-ethoxycumarin O-deethylase (ECOD, 2. 8 and 2. 5 fold) were also shown to be increased. Westem blot analysis showed that the subtypes of P450 isoforms induced selectively by GRZ and GRT included CYP1A1 (1. 8 and 1. 5 fold over that of the control, respectively), CYP2B1 (both 1.3 fold), and CYP2C11(3 .2 and 3 .0 fold). Moreover, significant positive correlation between the P450 content or the isoforms and the corresponding enzyme activities mentioned above was observed.
