Regio- and isoform-specific glucuronidation of psoralidin: evaluation of 3-o-glucuronidation as a functional marker for UGT1A9.

J. Pharm. Sci. 104 , 2369-77, (2015)

In this study, we aimed to determine the glucuronidation potential of psoralidin in humans and to perform validation on use of psoralidin-3-O-glucuronidation as a functional marker for UGT1A9. Glucuronidation kinetics was determined using human liver microsom...

Resuscitation from experimental traumatic brain injury by magnolol therapy.

J. Surg. Res. 184(2) , 1045-52, (2013)

The purpose of the present study was to determine whether magnolol, a free radical scavenger, mitigates the deleterious effects of traumatic brain injury (TBI).Traumatic brain injuries were induced in anesthetized male Sprague-Dawley rats using fluid percussi...
