This study showed that DPA and EPA, both provided in free form, are metabolised differently, despite being chemically similar.
Because pitavastatin is metabolised differently, it is not subject to the same dangerous interactions as other statins with drugs like the blood thinner warfarin (Coumadin).
Pegylated interferon is a more powerful and effective interferon that is metabolised differently and so stays in the body for longer.
"The issue isn't that [weed is] metabolised differently, it's that it's gonna get metabolised to different degrees in different parts of the body, depending on the route of administration," Nick Jikomes, the principal research scientist at Leafly, explains.
To be pharmacologically active, tamoxifen must be metabolised to secondary metabolites that bind the oestrogen receptor 100-fold more readily than tamoxifen itself (Malet et al, 1988).
It is not metabolised, unlike dihydrotestosterone, which can be metabolised in vitro (Carlson and Katzanallenbogen, 1990).
Drugs may be metabolised in animals via pathways that are minor or absent in humans, leading to a slower than expected clearance.
Use of equine oestrogen was associated with a slightly higher risk of gallbladder disease than estradiol and this may be because the equine preparations consist largely of conjugated oestrogens, which are metabolised somewhat differently from estradiol 20; however, it is unknown what effects this may have on biliary concentrations of hormone.
"There is a small amount of evidence that MCTs are metabolised and processed differently from LCTs," agrees Bridget Aisbitt, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation.
If you thought all you had to do was glug coconut oil and your excess pounds would melt away, you'd need to think again". "There is a small amount of evidence that MCTs are metabolised and processed differently from LC Ts" agrees Bridget Aisbitt, a nutrition scientist at the British Nutrition Foundation.
