## Abstract Primary cultures of human hepatocytes and hepatoma cell line HepG2 are frequently used to evaluate the hepatic disposition of drugs and other xenobiotics. To check the variability of the expression of drugโmetabolizing enzymes in these in vitro models, expression of genes coding for sev
## Abstract The aim of this work was to investigate the response of the antioxidant defense system to two oxidative stressors, hydrogen peroxide and __tert__โbutyl hydroperoxide, in HepG2 cells in culture. The parameters evaluated included enzyme activity and gene expression of superoxide dismutase
