Abstract excerpt
The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) and pregnane X receptor (PXR) mediate the expression of mammalian cytochrome p450 (p450) 2B genes, including CYP2B6 in humans. Large interindividual differences exist in hepatic CYP2B6 expression, but the molecular basis for this variability is not well understood. In the present study, we developed real-time polymerase chain reaction methods to measure CYP2B6, CAR, and...
