Abstract

1. 1. Effect of energy and/or protein intake on a mixed function oxidase system (MFO) in hepatic microsomes was studied in male broiler chicks. 2. 2. Contents of cytochrome P-450 and b5 in 72 hr starvation were larger than those in 12 and 36 hr starvations. 3. 3. Reduction of energy and protein intake did not change the MFO, except cytochrome P-450. 4. 4. Reduction of energy intake under the same protein intake increased the cytochrome P-450 content and aminopyrine N-demethylase activity. An increase in protein intake under the same energy intake also increased the cytochrome P-450 content.
