EPA Grant Number: R827685E02Title: Improved Reproductive Risk Assessment by Elucidation of Comparative Metabolism
Investigators: Gandy, Jay
Institution: University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences

Research Category: EPSCoR (The Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research)
Objective:
The objective of this research project was to develop in vitro systems expressing isoforms of rodent drug metabolizing enzymes that are expressed in reproductive tissues and compare them with corresponding human isoforms, which currently are available commercially. Knowledge of species-comparative differences in the metabolism of drugs and endocrine disrupting chemicals will allow animal study data to provide a better assessment of human risk.
