homeostasis/metabolism
• primary cultured hepatocytes from 8-week-old male mice show a ~51.9% reduction in glucuronidation efficiency for bumetanide (a known substrate of SLC22A7), as calculated by dividing the production of bumetanide beta-glucuronide by accumulation of bumetanide into hepatocytes
• however, cellular uptake of bumetanide into hepatocytes and the glucuronidation activity directly assessed in hepatic microsomes are not affected
