Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Are drug transporters altered in brain , liver and kidney of rats with chronic epilepsy induced by lithium-pilocarpine?
Answer: Organic anion transporting polypeptide 2 and P-gp colocalized in tissues that are important in drug absorption, metabolism and excretion. Seizures seem to induce the cerebral changes of P-gp and Oatp2. However, the changes of expression of two transporters exhibit the opposite trend. Organic anion transporting polypeptide 2 might play a different role than P-gp in intractable epilepsy. Our data provide a basis for the assessment of the role of uptake transporters and efflux pumps in the development of intractable epilepsy.
Output (English): yes
