Morbidly Obese Patients Exhibit Increased CYP2E1-Mediated Oxidation of Acetaminophen [PDF]
Introduction: Acetaminophen (paracetamol) is mainly metabolized via glucuronidation and sulphation, while the minor pathway through cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1 is held responsible for hepatotoxicity.

Detection and quantification of codeine-6-glucuronide, hydromorphone-3-glucuronide, oxymorphone-3-glucuronide, morphine 3-glucuronide and morphine-6-glucuronide in human hair from opioid users by LC–MS-MS [PDF]
Current hair testing methods that rely solely on quantification of parent drug compounds are unable to definitively distinguish between drug use and external contamination. One possible solution to this problem is to confirm the presence of unique drug metabolites that cannot be present through contamination, such as phase II glucuronide conjugates ...

Women with epilepsy: Evidence‐based counseling across the lifespan
Abstract Women with epilepsy (WWE) encounter distinct and evolving challenges across the lifespan that require clinical management extending beyond seizure control alone. Although awareness of sex‐specific aspects of epilepsy has increased, important gaps remain in their integration into routine care.

Detoxification of 1,2-dihydroxy- 4-allylbenzene, a major phenolic compound in Piper betle, through glucuronidation using S9 protein of rat liver (Sprague Dawley) [PDF]
1,2-dihydroxy- 4-allylbenzene (DHAB) is a major compound in Piper betle leaf and also a metabolite of safrole metabolism. Epidemilogic studies showed people who have betel quid chewing habit are related to the incidence of oral submucous fibrosis and/or ...

Formation of biologically active benzodiazepine metabolites in Arabidopsis thaliana cell cultures and vegetable plants under hydroponic conditions. [PDF]
The use of recycled water for agricultural irrigation comes with the concern of exposure to crops by contaminants of emerging concerns (CECs). The concentration of CECs in plant tissues will depend on uptake, translocation and metabolism in plants ...

Hedgehog pathway mutations drive oncogenic transformation in high-risk T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. [PDF]
The role of Hedgehog signaling in normal and malignant T-cell development is controversial. Recently, Hedgehog pathway mutations have been described in T-ALL, but whether mutational activation of Hedgehog signaling drives T-cell transformation is unknown,
