An inflammatory reaction could be an important source of intraindividual variability in cyclosporine pharmacokinetics, possibly through an inhibition of cytochrome P4503A-dependent enzyme activities by endogenous interleukin-6. Blood AM1 accumulation might be explained by a secondary metabolic step that is highly sensitive to the inhibitory effect of interleukin-6.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
