Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: ABCB1 is a membrane transporter ubiquitously expressed particularly in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Resistance to drugs is associated with genetic variations of its gene and with modulation of its expression through the pregnane-X-receptor (PXR) transcription factor. We have previously shown that ABCB1 polymorphisms were associated with blood lipid concentrations. METHODS: We wanted to...
