Table 1. Summary of the impact of prototypical inducers (Chenodeoxycholiic acid; CDCA, Pregnane 16α-carbonitrile; PCN, Phenobarbital; PB and Rifampicin; RIF), on gene expression in H411e, Iec-6, and rat primary hepatocytes. For clarity, statistical analyses for cell lines H411e and Iec-6 are given only for the lowest concentration at which a significant difference was observed. For primary hepatocytes, the incubation time (in hours) when significant induction was detected: bP<0.05, cP<0.01.
