“…cDNA was synthesized by reverse transcription of each RNA sample using ReverTra Ace® qPCR RT Master Mix (Toyobo Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan), according to the manufacturer's instructions. The quantitative evaluation of mRNA expression was carried out by real‐time PCR with the cDNA samples using SsoFast EvaGreen Supermix (Bio‐Rad Laboratories, Inc., CA) with the gene specific primers as follows: forward and reverse primers, Mdr1a were 5′‐TGA ACT GTG ACC ATG CGA GAT GTT AAA TA‐3′ and 5′‐GTC TCT GAA GAC TCT AAA ATG GAC TAA ATG‐3′ (153 bp ) (Higashi et al, ); Bcrp, 5′‐CAA TGG GAT CAT GAA ACC TG‐3′ and 5′‐GAG GCT GGT GAA TGG AGA A‐3′ (536 bp ) (Shibayama et al, ); Pept1 , 5′‐CAC AGC GCC AGC AAC TAT CA‐3′ and 5′‐GAT ATT ACC GAT GGC CAC GG‐3′ (360 bp ) (Naruhashi, Sai, Tamai, Suzuki, & Tsuji, ); β‐actin , 5′‐TCA GCA AGC AGG AGT ATG‐3′ and 5′‐GTC AAG AAA GGG TGT AAC G‐3′ (97 bp ) (Iskandarmudasyah, Louisa, Arleni, Jusman, & Suyatna, ). Real‐time PCR was performed using a thermal cycler CFX96TM Real‐TimeSystem (Bio‐Rad Laboratories, Inc.).…”
