“…(2)-Epicatechin was used as the positive control to assess the catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) activities of the human, rat, and dog liver cytosols (Zhu et al, 2000;Li et al, 2012), and the in vitro t 1/2 values were 0.46, 0.08, and 0.21 hour, respectively. 7-Hydroxyflavone was used as the positive control to assess the sulfotransferase (SULT) activities of the human, rat, and dog liver cytosols (Li et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2013), and the in vitro t 1/2 values were 0.07, 0.29, and 0.10 hour, respectively. Chrysin was used as the positive control to assess the UDP-glycosyltransferase (UGT) activities of the human, rat, and dog liver microsomes (Li et al, 2012;Hu et al, 2013), and the in vitro t 1/2 values were 0.08, 0.05, 0.05 hour, respectively.…”
