Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: The antiplatelet activity of clopidogrel is characterized by considerable interindividual differences. Variable intestinal absorption is suggested to contribute to the inconsistencies in response. We tested the hypothesis that the intestinal efflux transporter P-glycoprotein (P-gp) limits the oral bioavailability of clopidogrel and that variance in the MDR1 gene encoding P-gp predicts absorption...
