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. Complementary-DNA-expressed CYP2C9 favoured formation of S-2- and S-3-hydroxyibuprofen while CYP2C8 favoured R-2-hydroxyibuprofen formation, high-affinity Km values for S-ibuprofen hydroxylation were 38 and 21 micromolar against 47 and 29 micromolar for R-ibuprofen, sulfaphenazole competitively inhibited all four hydroxylations with submicromolar Ki values, and the regio- and stereoselectivities observed in vitro were consistent with those noted in vivo.
