The association of serum LDL cholesterol and the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio, the major positive risk factors of coronary heart disease, to hepatic microsomal enzyme induction assessed by liver cytochrome P-450, was investigated in 18 subjects who were treated with inducing anticonvulsants. In subjects with normal liver histology, LDL cholesterol and the LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio were inversely proportional to the magnitude of induction. Strong induction was associated with a low LDL cholesterol level. The serum cholesterol distribution profile and the low LDL/HDL cholesterol ratio associated with induction are characteristic of low risk of coronary heart disease. The present findings support studies showing a positive association between HDL cholesterol and induction and suggesting a new therapeutic approach to atherosclerotic vascular disease.
