Efflux transporters are crucial for the maintenance of gut homeostasis and influence drug bioavailability. Changes in their expression can disrupt the barrier which consequently results with inflammatory response, as observed in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). Their exact role in IBD pathogenesis is inconclusive. We have measured the expression of transporeters MDR1, MRP1 and BCRP in pediatric …
