A new microphotometric method for measurement of cytochrome P-450 in sections of liver.

We developed a new microphotometric method for measuring the amounts of cytochrome P-450 (P-450) in fresh frozen sections of liver. Four serial frozen sections cut from the liver were separately incubated in 50 mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 8.0) alone, in buffer containing sodium dithionite, in buffer saturated with carbon monoxide (CO), and in buffer saturated with CO and containing sodium dithionite. The difference between absorbance at 450 nm and that at 490 nm was measured in these sections with a simple microphotometer system. This method yielded precise amounts of P-450 in sections by measuring the true extinction of P-450 and by minimizing the effect of contaminating hemoproteins. Livers of adult rats contained large amounts of P-450, which was greater in perivenular hepatocytes than in periportal hepatocytes. In livers of newborn rats, however, small amounts of the enzyme were distributed evenly throughout the lobule.
