The effect of 21 days of promethazine-HC1 administration on hepatic bilirubin metabolism and transport was studied in adult rats. A significant increase in mean cumulative hepatic bilirubin uptake (84.5 +/- 7.6 (SE) mug/100 g/min in controls vs. 110.0 +/- 4.3 in treated rats), mean hepatic glucuronide conjugation (1,330 +/- 86 (SE) mug bilirubin conjugated/g liver/40 min in controls vs. 1.713 +/- 61 in treated rats), and mean maximal hepatic excretion (47.2 +/- 4.9 (SE) mug/100 g/min vs. 63.5 +/- 2.7) was observed in treated animals. Mean total liver weight and total hepatic protein also increased significantly. These observations suggest that promethazine is an inducer of protein and enzyme synthesis in rat liver and is capable of significantly stimulating the three major steps in hepatic disposal of bilirubin.
