MicroRNA-122 down-regulation is involved in phenobarbital-mediated activation of the constitutive androstane receptor. [PDF]
Constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) is a nuclear receptor that regulates the transcription of target genes, including CYP2B and 3A. Phenobarbital activates CAR, at least in part, in an AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK)-dependent manner. However, the

The "backdoor pathway" of androgen synthesis in human male sexual development. [PDF]
Mammalian sex determination (male versus female) is largely controlled by genes, whereas sex differentiation (development of reproductive structures) is largely controlled by hormones. Work in the 20th century indicated that female external anatomy was a

A Targeted in Vivo SILAC Approach for Quantification of Drug Metabolism Enzymes:Regulation by the Constitutive Androstane Receptor [PDF]
The modulation of drug metabolism enzyme (DME) expression by therapeutic agents is a central mechanism of drug-drug interaction and should be assessed as early as possible in preclinical drug development.

Role of metabolic nuclear receptors in acute liver injury and drug-induced hepatotoxicity
Metabolic nuclear receptors (NRs) are ligand-activated transcription factors central to metabolic homeostasis and detoxification. While their roles in chronic liver diseases have been reviewed, comprehensive reviews specifically addressing the role of ...

Microbial Modifications of Androstane and Androstene Steroids by Penicillium vinaceum
The biotransformation of steroid compounds is a promising, environmentally friendly route to new pharmaceuticals and hormones. One of the reaction types common in the metabolic fate of steroids is Baeyer-Villiger oxidation, which in the case of cyclic ...
