TABLE 1

Relative mRNA levels of P450s in human liver and WAT

Relative mRNA levels of P450 were measured using RT-PCR in uncultured (explants t = 0, n = 6) or cultured (explants t = 48 h, n = 6, and primary culture of adipocytes, n = 6) WAT and liver biopsies (pool, n = 12). Relative mRNA levels were calculated by dividing P450 levels by TBP levels and are means ± S.D. CYP2F1 and CYP2W1 mRNA were not detected and are therefore not shown in this table.
