P450 activity of human hepatocytes in the presence of ketoconazole in KHB buffer

Ketoconazole was equilibrated with human hepatocytes in KHB to allow nonspecific binding. After equilibration, the extracellular concentration of ketoconazole was measured. The remaining P450 activities in hepatocytes were also determined using the probe substrates.
