Abstract
Humans and rodents are exposed to many foreign compounds in their diet (e.g., herbal supplements such as St. Johns wart), in their environment (e.g., organ-ochlorine pesticides and polychorinated biphenyls), and as clinically prescribed drugs (e.g., rifampin and phenobarbital). In response to these exposures mammals have evolved mechanisms to induce proteins involved in xenobiotic detoxification. Metabo-lism by Phase I enzymes, particularly the heme containing monooxygenases- cytochromes P450 is frequently the first line of defense against such xenobiotics.

Interaction between drugs and endocrine diseases
The introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy accelerated studies and our understanding on the interaction between pharmacological therapies and endocrine diseases. Drugs can precipitate endocrine via different mechanisms, including direct alteration of hormone production and secretion, dysregulation of hormonal axis, effects on hormonal transport, receptor-binding, and cellular signalling. Common drug-induced ...read more
