Relative expression of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes in human liver and association with the metabolism of drugs and xenobiotics.
Cytochrome P450s play a central role in the metabolism and disposition of an extremely wide range of drugs and chemical carcinogens. Individual differences in the expression of these enzymes may be… Expand

Present status of the application of cryopreserved hepatocytes in the evaluation of xenobiotics: consensus of an international expert panel.
Successful cryopreservation of freshly isolated hepatocytes would significantly decrease the need for freshly-procured livers for the preparation of hepatocytes for experimentation. Hepatocytes can… Expand

Changes in adenosine sensitivity in the hippocampus of rats with streptozotocin‐induced diabetes
1 Hippocampal slices have been used to assess the sensitivity of the CNS to adenosine and γ‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) in diabetes. The effects of adenosine, 2‐chloroadenosine, GABA, muscimol and… Expand

Sex steroid induced changes in hepatic enzymes.
Sex differences exist in steroid and xenobiotic metabolism in the liver of a number of species. In the rat, the differences are regulated through the hypothalamo-pituitary axis. The previously… Expand
