TABLE 1

Comparison of ratios of intracellular N-demethyl-Ery to Ery in CMPF- and indoxyl sulfate-treated hepatoctyes Hepatocytes were incubated with Ery (2 μM) in the presence of various concentrations of CMPF and indoxyl sulfate. The intracellular amount of Ery and N-demethyl-Ery was measured in each group.
