Journal of Veterinary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 45(1), 54-62. https://doi.org/10.1111/jvp.13024

Paracetamol is a widely used, non-opioid analgesic and antipyretic drug. Scientific evidence suggests that it is an effective pain treatment in equine medicine. However, there is very little published information about the pharmacokinetics of the dru...

Hydrostatic pressure regulates CYP1A2 expression in human hepatocytes via a mechanosensitive aryl hydrocarbon receptor-dependent pathway (2020)
Journal Article
Burton, L., Scaife, P., Paine, S. W., Mellor, H. R., Abernethy, L., Littlewood, P., & Rauch, C. (2020). Hydrostatic pressure regulates CYP1A2 expression in human hepatocytes via a mechanosensitive aryl hydrocarbon receptor-dependent pathway. American Journal of Physiology - Cell Physiology, 318(5), C889-C902. https://doi.org/10.1152/ajpcell.00472.2019

Approximately 75% of xenobiotics are primarily eliminated through metabolism; thus the accurate scaling of metabolic clearance is vital to successful drug development. Yet, when data is scaled from in vitro to in vivo, hepatic metabolic clearance, th...
