ABSTRACT:
Based on the discovery that the human bilirubin/phenol UDP-glucuronosyltransferase ugt1 gene complex contains an electrophile responsive element and the knowledge that the rat NADP(H):quinone reductase gene contains an electrophile responsive element, agents which at a concentration of less than 50 .mu.M double the quinone reductase specific activity of Hepa 1clc7 cells, e.g., BHT and sulforaphane, are used for the prophylaxis or treatment of newborn jaundice.
