Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette transporter ABCB1 (P-glycoprotein) mediates terminal excretion of many chemotherapeutic agents, and variable ABCB1 activity may be an important contributor to interpatient variability in the clearance of chemotherapeutic agents. Our objective was to determine the elimination constant (kH) for hepatic elimination of technetium Tc 99m-labeled...
