Table 1.

Kinetic parameters of measured initial substrate concentration ranges ([S]0, μM) of B[a]P and DBC metabolism in the naïve and pregnant B6129SF1/J mouse, male Sprague-Dawley rat and female human. Maximum enzyme velocity (Vmax). Michaelis constant (Km). Michaelis-Menten and In vitro half-life intrinsic clearance rates (CLINT) scaled to the hepatic tissue and organismal level.
