This suggests that while lindane most strongly induces CYP2B, it also upregulates a number of other drug metabolizing enzymes, such as CYP1A, CYP3A, and UDP-GT.

These results suggest that the mechanisms by which P450s of family 1 are regulated in the liver are also functional in human WAT, but those regulating CYP2 and CYP3 expression are not.
The WAT and liver models were then treated with typical P450 inducers (rifampicin, phenobarbital, and 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin) and lipophilic pollutants (lindane, prochloraz, and chlorpyrifos), and the effects on P450 expression were studied.

The tested products fell into four major groups: a first group with pentachlorophenol, identified as a CYP3A inducer; a second group containing the methylcholanthrene-type inducers that increase CYP1A-related activities; a third class represented by dieldrin, a PB-type inducer; a fourth group including inert compounds or weak inducers.
Pentachlorophenol and lindane appeared as the strongest inducers.
