In Vivo Investigation of the Effects of Nonylphenol on the Pituitary–Adrenal Axis and Pineal Gland in Male Rats

In Vivo Investigation of the Effects of Nonylphenol on the Pituitary–Adrenal Axis and Pineal Gland in Male Rats

This study aimed to investigate the effect of nonylphenol on the pineal gland and melatonin, together with the pituitary–adrenal axis, which is associated with this system. Nonylphenol has adverse effects on the pituitary–adrenal axis, pineal gland, and melatonin tissues and hormones. Adverse effects have also been observed in liver and kidney tissues. Nonylphenol has a disruptive effect on the endocrine system.

Efflux and uptake transport and gut microbial reactivation of raloxifene glucuronides

Efflux and uptake transport and gut microbial reactivation of raloxifene glucuronides

The enterohepatic recycling of raloxifene likely results from the interplay of gut microbial β-glucuronidases (GUS) and drug transporters expressed in the intestine and the liver. The efflux transporters MRP2 and MRP3 and the uptake transporters OATP1B1, OATP1B3 and OATP2B1 appear to mediate the transport of raloxifene glucuronides in enterocytes and hepatocytes. Gut microbial deglucuronidation of raloxifene glucuronides may represent an additional source of interindividual variability in raloxifene pharmacokinetics.
