The role of breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2) in limiting the brain and testis penetration of xenobiotic compounds in the blood-brain and -testis barriers was investigated using Bcrp(-/-) mice. Tissue/plasma concentration ratios in the brain (K(p,brain)) and testis (K(p,testis)) obtained under steady-state conditions were significantly increased in Bcrp(-/-) mice for PhIP (2-amino-1...
