Abstract
Drug transporters expressed on the hepatocyte membrane play an important role in hepatic drug disposition. In the last two decades, systematic research has resulted in a better understanding of the diversity, expression and substrate specificities of drug transporters in the liver. Here we review recent studies on the role of transporters in drug-drug interactions and disease states such as cirrhosis. We conclude the review by considering techniques and model systems used to study hepatic transporters, including the latest technological developments such as multiphoton microscopy.

Exploring oxidative stress and the anti-oxidant defense system in chronic diseases: therapeutic strategies and future perspective
Ageing is facilitated by oxidative stress (OS), which happens spontaneously. Several studies have demonstrated that OS over an extended period of time has a role in the emergence of several chronic illnesses. Diabetes, cancer, and heart disease are a few examples of these ailments. An imbalance between the body's antioxidants ...read more
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
