CYP subfamilies can display complex sex-, tissue-, and development-specific expression patterns. In addition, CYP expression and activity can be influenced by genetic polymorphism.

The response of the class 11 male P450 genes to hypophysectomy of female rats, which derepresses, that is, increases liver enzyme levels to near-normal intact male liver levels, demonstrates that the class II male liver P450s are subject to negative pituitary regulation in female rat liver, where their expression is strongly repressed by the near continuous pattern of plasma GH exposure. These patterns of hormonal regulation are summarized in Table 9.2, which presents the responses of representative sex-specific liver CYPs to continuous and intermittent GH treatment applied to intact, hypo-physectomized and neonatal MSG-treated rats.
