a Values represent the fold activation above DMSO treated cells normalized to the cell number in each well. Each value is the mean of 3 or more determinations and is expressed as fold increase ± SE at p < 0.01.

b Indicates that there was no statistically significant difference from control (DMSO treated cells) at p < 0.01.

c Fold activation of CAR3 in the presence of the CYP2B6 promoter and enhancer

d Fold activation of CAR3 in the presence of the CYP3A4 promoter and enhancer
