Development of resistance to toxic effects of acetaminophen (APAP) was reported in rodents and humans, though the mechanism is only partially understood. We examined in rats the effect of administration with subtoxic daily doses (0.2, 0.3, and 0.6g/kg, i.p.) of
In this work, we developed a microfluidic device for the imitation of drug metabolism in human liver and its cytotoxicity on cells. The integrated microfluidic device consists of three sections: (1) bioreactors containing poly(ethylene) glycol (PEG) hydrogel encapsulated human liver

: The aim of the study was to evaluate UDP-glucuronyltransferase activity and the pharmacokinetics of a single oral dose of acetaminophen (APAP) in children with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). : Twelve boys 10 to 17 years old with biopsy-proven

Compared with phase I isoenzymes, data on isoenzyme-specific phenotypic activity of uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) and its covariates in neonates are limited. In vivo observations on morphine, paracetamol (acetaminophen), and propofol disposition throughout childhood confirm the overall low-glucuronidation activity in
