Hepatic microsomal oxidative capacity measured by the aminopyrine breath test

Hepatic microsomal oxidative capacity measured by the aminopyrine breath test. Species, exposure and limitations are retained in each linked claim.

1 recorded relationships. Experimental role, claim status and evidence remain attached to each record.

How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

  1. In eight patients, cimetidine lowered the one-hour specific activity in the aminopyrine breath test and increased the maximum serum concentration of mebendazole, with a significant correlation between the breath test activity and the highest mebendazole concentration both before and after cimetidine, and combined administration resulted in the complete resolution of previously unresponsive hydatid cysts.
