  • a Normalized enzyme activity represents activity in the expressed enzyme (picomoles per minute per picomole) × concentration of the enzyme in HLM (picomoles of P450 per milligram of protein). Enzyme concentrations in HLM used for normalization were 37, 29, 7, 19, 60, 9, 7, 76, and 1 pmol/mg of microsomal protein for CYP1A2, 2A6, 2B6, 2C8, 2C9, 2C19, 2D6, 3A4, and 3A5, respectively (Shimada et al., 1994; Rodrigues, 1999; Rostami-Hodjegan and Tucker, 2007).
