Modification of the effects of chloroform on the rat liver.

Investigations with chloroform anaesthesia in rats pretreated with phenobarbitone indicate that the hepatotoxic action of chloroform is directly related to the activity of the microsomal drug-metabolizing enzymes. Pretreatment with disulfiram, an inhibitor of the enzymes in man and rats, completely prevents the hepatotoxicity of chloroform in rats. It would seem that the toxic effects of chloro...
