  • a RAF based on a ratio of marker activities (7-ethoxyresorufin O-deethylation, diclofenac 4′-hydroxylation, or testosterone 6β-hydroxylation) in human cultured hepatocytes and Ad-P450-transduced HepG2 cells.

  • b Scaled using RAF for the primary cultured human hepatocytes.

  • c Data from Brown et al. (2007) (tolbutamide, alprazolam, and midazolam) and Stringer et al. (2008) (phenacetin).

  • d Scaled using a hepatocellularity of 120 × 106 hepatocytes/g and liver weight of 21.4 g/kg and based on human cryopreserved hepatocytes.
