Understanding these differences is important for designing safe and effective treatments. This paper summarizes sex differences that impact drug disposition and includes a general comparison of clinical pharmacology as it applies to men and women.

Breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP, ABCG2) is expressed in the hepatic canalicular membrane and mediates biliary excretion of xenobiotics including sulfate and glucuronide metabolites of some compounds. Hepatic Bcrp expression is sex-dependent, with higher expression in male mice. The hypothesis that sex-dependent Bcrp expression influences the hepatobiliary disposition of phase II metaboli...
متن کاملExpression of Drug Pump Protein MRP2 in Lipopolysaccharide-Treated Rats and Its Impact on the Disposition of Acetaminophen
The drug pump protein MRP2 is a membrane drug efflux transporter widely distributed in normal and tumor tissues. Its role is thought to be crucial for the disposition of many drugs and their substrates in different tissues. In this study, we aimed to examine the effects of systematic inflammation induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on the expression and function of this transporter in rats. Jug...
