Abstract

Oral administration of dieldrin a known inducer of drug-metabolising enzyme activity at a dose rate of 2.5 mg/kg BW produced no pathological changes in the tissues of treated rabbits and resulted in the induction of the activities of hepatic drug-methabolising enzymes aminopyrine-N-demethylase and aniline 4-hydroxylase. The induction of these enzymes might have protected the rabbits from the lethal effect of praziquantel when given at the dose rate of 2000 mg/kg BW (50 times the therapeutic dose) ten days following dieldrin pretreatment.
