Abstract

Infection of experimental rats with Trypanosoma brucei (T. b. brucei) results in a decrease in the activities of aniline hydroxylase, aminopyrine-N-demethylase and a lowering of the level of reduced glutathione in the liver. The activity of cytochrome c reductase remains above normal 50 h after infection. Infection of animals previously treated with either phenobarbitone or 3-methylcholanthrene results in a reduction in the specific activity of aniline hydroxylase and aminopyrine-N-demethylase. However, the specific activity of aromatic hydrocarbon hydroxylase is not depressed in 3-methylcholanthrene-treated rats.
