Many different chemical compounds induce the MFO in the liver and other tissues. Induction of the MFO is associated with increased biosynthesis of new protein. The most potent inducers are substrates whose rates of metabolism are low so that they remain associated with the enzyme for long periods of time. In humans, severely limited protein intake is usually accompanied by inadequate intake of all other nutrients thus it is difficult to designate specific pathological conditions to protein deficiency per se.
