Glucuronidation of dihydrocodeine by human liver microsomes and the effect of inhibitors.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to determine whether the kaliuresis associated with glucocorticoids is due to a direct tubular action or is secondary to effects of glucocorticoids on distal tubule flow. A whole kidney technique was used to avoid the problem, inherent in microperfusion and micropuncture studies, of deciding ...
