Abstract excerpt
The female Sprague-Dawley (SD) and Dark Agouti (DA) rats are considered the animal counterparts of the human extensive and poor metabolizer cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D6 phenotypes, respectively. The aim of this work was to study possible rat strain differences in the steady-state pharmacokinetics of the (+)-(S)- and (-)-(R)-enantiomers of citalopram and its demethylated metabolites. A chronic drug treatment regimen...
