Pregnane-X-Receptor Controls Hepatic Glucuronidation During Pregnancy and Neonatal Development in Humanized UGT1 Mice

In humanized UDP glucuronosyltransferase-1 (hUGT1) mice that express the entire UGT1 locus, the maternal hepatic UGT1A genes are dramatically induced 12-14 days after conception. Steroid induction of the UGT1A1 gene indicates that xenobiotic sensors, such as the pregnane X receptor (PXR) and constit...
