19378387 Hirose Y, Nagahori H, Yamada T, Deguchi Y, Tomigahara Y, Nishioka K, Uwagawa S, Kawamura S, Isobe N, Lake BG, Okuno Y: Comparison of the effects of the synthetic pyrethroid Metofluthrin and phenobarbital on CYP2B form induction and replicative DNA synthesis in cultured rat and human hepatocytes. Toxicology. 2009 Apr 5;258(1):64-9.

High doses of Metofluthrin (MTF) have been shown to produce liver tumours in rats by a mode of action (MOA) involving activation of the constitutive androstane receptor leading to liver hypertrophy, induction of cytochrome P450 (CYP) forms and increased cell proliferation.

Furthermore, CYP2B induction by Metofluthrin was shown to involve activation of the constitutive androstane receptor in rat hepatocytes.
