A strong correlation was found in a carefully selected homogenous population (n = 57) between antipyrine plasma half‐life and the percent induction of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase by 3‐methylcholanthrene in mitogen‐stimulated lymphocytes from the same individual. The correlation coefficient of r = −0.923 indicates that antipyrine and benzo[a]pyrene share one or several common determinants that are responsible for the observed interindividual variation in the oxidation rates of the two compounds. When a heterogenous population (n = 80) was studied. the above correlation was not found (r = −0.425).
