Abstract excerpt
This study uses stable isotope methodology to evaluate the validity of 6beta-hydroxylation clearance of endogenous cortisol as a new index for in vivo CYP3A phenotyping in humans. Important factors contradictory to the use of a conventional index of urinary ratio of 6beta-hydroxycortisol to cortisol (6beta-OHF/F) to evaluate in vivo CYP3A activity are also discussed. Stable isotopically labeled cortisol (3-5 mg)...
