Effects of a salt of cholestyramine and 2-[4-(p-chlorobenzoyl)phenoxy]2-methyl propionic acid (alpha-1081) on biliary lipid secretion in rats.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE:Cultured pre-adipocytes accumulate and metabolize zidovudine (ZDV), but its mode of accumulation into these cells is unclear. We investigated the mode of accumulation of [(3)H]-ZDV, and the impact of changes in external pH and modulators of drug transporters on its accumulation and metabolism. E...
