Peripheral esterases in the rat: effects of classical inducers.

Liver microsomal paraoxonase, aryl esterase and fluazifop butyl esterase (carboxylesterase) were induced by pretreatment of rat with phenobarbitone but not by beta-naphthoflavone or clofibric acid. In the extrahepatic tissues lung cytosolicfluazifop butyl and phenylacetate esterase were induced.
