Time and dose-dependent effects of phenobarbital on the rat liver miRNAome. [PDF]

, 2013
In a previous study we had shown that treatment of male Fischer rats with exogenous chemicals for three months resulted in prominent, mode-of-action dependent effects on liver microRNA (miRNA) (Koufaris et al., 2012). Here we investigated how the effects
