Effects of chronic renal failure on liver drug transporters.
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with a decrease in liver drug metabolism, particularly mediated by the cytochrome P450. CRF also impedes intestinal drug transporters [mainly P-glycoprotein (P-gp) and multidrug resistance protein (MRP)]. However, very few studies have evaluated the effects of CRF on liver drug transport. The present study aimed to investigate the repercussions of CRF o...
متن کاملDrug transporters in spermatogenesis
Drug transporters are integral membrane proteins expressed by a variety of organs, including the liver, kidney, small intestine and testis, and they are generally known to mediate drug or xenobiotic transport into and out of cells. Previous studies have also reported the presence of several drug transporters at blood-tissue barriers where they are thought to protect organs from harmful agents. ...
متن کاملDrug transporters in the central nervous system.
Drug targets in the central nervous system (CNS) are numerous and important for drug therapy, e.g., of epilepsy or pain. Drugs and other xenobiotics as well as nutrients cannot freely cross the blood-brain barrier or freely enter cells across plasma membranes and therefore require transport systems. This overview summarizes the current knowledge on the expression of drug transporters in barrier...
متن کاملRenal tubular drug transporters.
The kidney plays an important role in the elimination of numerous hydrophilic xenobiotics, including drugs, toxins, and endogenous compounds. It has developed high-capacity transport systems to prevent urinary loss of filtered nutrients, as well as electrolytes, and simultaneously to facilitate tubular secretion of a wide range of organic ions. Transport systems for organic anions and cations a...
متن کاملRenal drug transporters and their significance in drug–drug interactions
The kidney is a vital organ for the elimination of therapeutic drugs and their metabolites. Renal drug transporters, which are primarily located in the renal proximal tubules, play an important role in tubular secretion and reabsorption of drug molecules in the kidney. Tubular secretion is characterized by high clearance capacities, broad substrate specificities, and distinct charge selectivity...
