Pregnane X receptor and constitutive androstane receptor modulate differently CYP3A-mediated metabolism in earlyand late-stage cholestasis [PDF]
AIM: To ascertain whether cholestasis affects the expression of two CYP3A isoforms (CYP3A1 and CYP3A2) and of pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR).

BILIARY MICROBIOTA AND BILE DUCT DISEASES
Traditionally, the biliary tract has been considered to be normally sterile, and the presence of microorganisms in bile is a marker of a pathological process. This assumption was confirmed by failure in allocation of bacterial strains from the normal bile duct. The paper provides rationale for a phenomenon of the normal biliary microbiota as a separate
