UGT1A1 Fragment Analysis: Genotyping the (TA)n Variable Repeat Polymorphism for Clinical Applications

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This study developed a PCR‐based fragment analysis assay for UGT1A1 rs3064744 targeting TA5 (*36), TA6 (*1), TA7 (*28), and TA8 (*37). The assay was CLIA validated with data showing 100% concordance and a sensitivity of 0.5 ng/uL. The assay was then implemented in a patient cohort of n = 940 and the results compared with PharmacoScan.

Interspecies variation in the hepatic biotransformation of zearalenone: Evidence for bio-inactivation of mycoestrogen zearalenone in sturgeon fish [PDF]

, 2016
Zearalenone (ZEA) as mycoestrogen is found in human foods and animal feeds. Its estrogenic potency depends on its biotransformation fate. The hepatic biotransformation of ZEA in two species of sturgeon fish (Acipenser persicus and Huso huso) was ...

Liver X Receptor α (LXRα) Regulates 5β‐Reductase (AKR1D1) Expression in Avian Embryos: Implications for Yolk Steroid Metabolism

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part A: Ecological and Integrative Physiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Steroid‐mediated maternal effects are well‐studied as a source of phenotypic variation. In bird eggs, the yolk contains various steroids that can influence embryonic development. However, one complicating factor in understanding how yolk steroids affect development is that the embryo metabolizes yolk steroids to regulate exposure.

Effects of catechins, resveratrol, silymarin components and some of their conjugates on xanthine oxidase‐catalyzed xanthine and 6‐mercaptopurine oxidation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 2765-2776, 30 March 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, the global incidence of gout has markedly increased, affecting people worldwide. Considering the side effects of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor drugs (e.g. allopurinol and febuxostat) used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, the potential application of phytochemicals has been widely studied.

Functional expression of uridine diphospho glucuronosyltransferases in fission yeast [PDF]

, 2011
Uridine diphospho (UDP) glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) catalyze the transfer of a sugar moiety from UDP-sugar to endogenous or exogenous compounds. The water solubility of these substances is increased thereby and their excretion from the human body is ...

Harnessing Phytochemicals for Brain Cancer Therapy: Insights Into Medulloblastoma and Glioblastoma Treatment

Phytochemical Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Primary brain tumors are life‐threatening diseases. Glioblastoma is the most aggressive type with a poor prognosis. Medulloblastoma is the most common pediatric brain tumor. While surgical treatments often result in recurrences owing to the complex nature of the tumor microenvironment, conventional treatments lower the quality of life of ...
