Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Organic anion transporting polypeptide 1B1 (OATP1B1, encoded by SLCO1B1 gene) is a hepatic uptake transporter, and its genetic variability is associated with pharmacokinetics and muscle toxicity risk of simvastatin. We examined the possible effects of variations in the SLCO1B1 gene on the pharmacokinetics of lovastatin in a prospective genotype panel study. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: Seven healthy...
