Peroxisome biogenesis; metabolic role of mammalian peroxisomes; peroxisome proliferators as cytochrome P450 inducers; molecular mechanisms involved in induction of peroxisomal B-oxidation enzymes by hypolipidaemic agents; possible role of COASH esters on xenobiotic-induced peroxismal proliferation and non-genotoxic carcinogenesis; modulation of peroxismal biogenesis and libit metabolizing enzymes by dietary factors; cultured hepatocytes - a useful in vitro system to investigate
