The uptake of 3H-MPP+ (0.15 μm) at 60 or 90 min in water- and hOCT1 cRNA-injected oocytes in the absence (control) and presence of various organic compounds was measured on day 3 or 4 after injection is described in Experimental Procedures. The data represent mean ± standard error for seven to nine oocytes. All uptake values in cRNA-injected oocytes are significantly lower than control (p < 0.05) except those for PAH and d-glucose. Controls represent uptakes in the oocytes in the absence of inhibitors.
