Median values are presented (in boldface) for human liver microsomes with the range of values in parentheses and interquartile range in brackets (n = 12 for CYPs 1A2, 2B6, and 3A;n = 10 for CYP2C19, with poor metabolizer livers L11 and L12 excluded; n = 11 for CYP2D6, with poor metabolizer liver L8 excluded).
