“…Moreover, IL1 is directly involved in the regulation of CYP3A-and a down-regulation of CYP3A induced by an increase IL1 has been previously demonstrated (Sunman et al, 2004). Cytokine expression has also been previously investigated in blood samples from harbour seal pups in rehabilitation facilities, which showed higher RNA levels of IL1beta, IL6, IL8 and IL12 in starved seal pups at admission than after rehabilitation (Fonfara et al, 2008;Weirup et al, 2013). Regulation of CYP expression was also associated with pollutant exposure in wild seals (Kim et al, 2005;Hirakawa et al, 2007).…”
