Iron binding to alpha-tocopherol-containing phospholipid liposomes.

abstract：:Previous work had suggested the presence of significant levels of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) catalytic activity in human small intestinal microsomes, with undetectable to low UGT1A6 and 2B7 activities. To confirm the presence of UGT1A1 isoform in human small bowel, to explore the possible absence of UGT1...
