The extremely slow and variable activity of dihydrofolate reductase in human liver and its implications
The membranes were blocked with 5% nonfat dry milk in PBS supplemented with 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20 and incubated overnight at 4C with anti-CPT2, PPAR (Santa Cruz Biotechnology,United States), CPT1A, LCAD, Very long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (VLCAD), (Proteintech, United States), GAPDH (from Cell Signaling Technology, United States)
Severe kidney or liver disease is not an absolute contraindication, but since MB is extensively metabolized in the liver and about 40% excreted by the kidneys, patients with major organ impairment could accumulate the drug and experience heightened toxicity
