Ontogeny profile of hepatic CYP enzymes in Göttingen minipig based on metabolic activity, protein expression, and mRNA expression levels
Percentages represent expression/activity relative to adult levels.
| Onset of Activity and/or Expression | Adult Levels Reached | Age-Related Changes in Activity/Expression | Comments | References | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| CYP1A2 | |||||
| Catalytic activity | M: −28 days (0.5%); F: −28 days (3%) | M: NR (60% at 28 days); F: NR (81% at 28 days) | Increased rapidly | Single study, not clear whether substrate is specific in Göttingen minipigs.
