Regulation of Sulfotransferase and UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase Gene Expression by the PPARs

PPAR Research, 2009
During phase II metabolism, a substrate is rendered more hydrophilic through the covalent attachment of an endogenous molecule. The cytosolic sulfotransferase (SULT) and UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) families of enzymes account for the majority of ...

17β-Estradiol up-regulates UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 expression via estrogen receptor α

Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, 2016
UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A9 (UGT1A9) is a major phase II enzyme responsible for elimination of drugs and endogenous molecules. Clinical data have shown increased elimination of UGT1A9 substrates in pregnant women or oral contraceptive users, but the ...

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 ...

In Vitro Model for Hepatotoxicity Studies Based on Primary Human Hepatocyte Cultivation in a Perfused 3D Bioreactor System [PDF]

, 2016
Accurate prediction of the potential hepatotoxic nature of new pharmaceuticals remains highly challenging. Therefore, novel in vitro models with improved external validity are needed to investigate hepatic metabolism and timely identify any toxicity ...

Physiological and anatomical determinants of placental drug transfer

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Fetal exposure to pharmaceuticals and their subsequent clearance back to the maternal circulation are governed by placental transfer. Passive diffusion down a maternal‐to‐fetal concentration gradient is the primary route of fetal drug exposure, with specific compounds undergoing transporter‐mediated transfer.

Maternal nutrition as a key determinant of placental and developing blood–brain barrier xenobiotic protective functions

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Suboptimal maternal nutrition alters placental and developing blood–brain barrier (BBB) protective function and is associated with increased fetal brain vulnerability. In the placenta, nutritional adversity may reduce the exchange surface area and promote meta‐inflammation, compromising barrier efficiency in a model‐ and context ...

UDP-glucuronosyltransferases in sickness and health : Studies on bilirubin and steroid glucuronidation [PDF]

, 2013
UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are responsible for the metabolism of many xenobiotics, as well as several endogenous compounds like bilirubin and certain steroids.

Unveiling Hepatic Protein Alterations in Neonatal and Infant Biliary Atresia

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 119, Issue 6, Page 1584-1596, June 2026.
Pediatric populations differ from adults in drug elimination capacity. While current scaling methods account for enzyme and transporter maturation, they overlook comorbidities, such as biliary atresia (BA), a liver disease appearing within the first 2–8 weeks of life that can progress to cirrhosis.
