  1. Primary human hepatocytes (PHHs) were cultured with one of the respective sex hormones for 24 h. Cell culture media prior to cell culture were used as negative controls. Values represent integrated peak areas (area under the curve; AUC) for the parent of the respective hormone normalized to the AUC of its respective isotopic standard. The amount of hormone metabolized after 24 h is given as percentage of the respective hormone value in relation to its negative control value
  2. Abbreviations E2, 17β-estradiol; T, testosterone; P, progesterone
