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.

What acts on it

  1. Apically applied tartrazine did not change sulfasalazine permeability through Caco-2 monolayers.

    dose
    Tartrazine 200 micromolar apically with sulfasalazine 500 micromolar; Ko-143 comparator

    limitations
    Cell-monolayer null result is not a clinical drug-interaction trial; transporter accessibility can differ from inside-out vesicles. Bilateral addition also had a limited effect, at most twofold.
