Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: An important function of hepatocytes is the biotransformation and elimination of various drugs, many of which are organic cations and are taken up by organic cation transporters (OCTs) of the solute carrier family 22 (SLC22). Because interindividual variability of OCT expression may affect response to cationic drugs such as metformin, we systematically investigated genetic and nongenetic factors of...
