TABLE 4

Glucuronidation of anabolic androgenic steroids by recombinant human UGTs The formation of a given glucuronide was estimated as the ratio of peak areas of analyte and internal standard. A minus sign means that glucuronide formation, if to any extent, was below the detection limit, whereas each additional “+” indicates an approximate 10-fold increase in activity. Experimental conditions: 50 μM substrate, 5 mM UDPGA, 5 mM saccharic acid lactone, 0.5 mg/ml protein, and 2 h of incubation time
