Pregnancy decreases rat CYP1A2 activity and expression

AA Walker, L Dickmann, N Isoherranen - Drug metabolism and disposition, 2011 - ASPET
Pregnancy results in increased CYP3A- and CYP2D6-mediated clearance but decreases
the clearance of CYP1A2 probe drugs. The aim of this study was to determine whether the …
