Clinical benefit of neoral dose monitoring with cyclosporine 2-hr post-dose levels compared with trough levels in stable heart transplant patients.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Monocarboxylate transporter (MCT)-1, a member of a family of molecules, transports monocarboxylates such as lactate. Inhibiting MCT-1 leads to long-term graft survival in rodent heart transplantation and induces tolerance. We evaluated an MCT-1 inhibitor, AS2495674, in a rat heart transplant model and analyz...
