Cytosolic glutathione reductase activity of rat liver was shown to increase to about 250% of control values after treatment of the animals by intraperitoneal injections of trans-stilbene oxide. The time course and dose-response relationship of the induction brought about by trans-stilbene oxide were determined. The increase of activity was accompanied by a similar increase of protein precipitable by antibodies to rat liver glutathione reductase. These results strongly indicate that increase of glutathione reductase activity in response to treatment with this inducer is the result of true induction. Phenobarbital and 3-methylcholanthrene increased the activities per mg protein in the cytosol fraction by 80 and 24%, respectively. Glutathione reductase was purified to homogeneity from rats treated with trans-stilbene oxide. The molecular and kinetic properties investigated were not significantly different from those of the enzyme from control animals. Selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase was not induced in the hepatic cytosol of animals treated with trans-stilbene oxide.
