Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1, encoded by SLCO1B1) is a sinusoidal influx transporter of human hepatocytes. Our aim was to characterize the role of OATP1B1 in the hepatic uptake of bile acids in vivo. METHODS: Fasting blood samples were drawn from 24 healthy volunteers with SLCO1B1 c.388AA-c.521TT (*1A/*1A) genotype, eight with c.388GG-c.521TT (*1B/*1B) genotype, 24...
