Duloxetine is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP)1A2 and CYP2D6. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of the CYP2D6 genotype on duloxetine serum concentration adjusting for age and sex. Patients were included retrospectively from a therapeutic drug monitoring service. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to investigate the effect of CYP2D6 genotype, age and sex on the duloxetine concentration-to-dose (C/D) ratio. In total, 269 patients were included and assigned to the following genotype-predicted phenotype subgroups: CYP2D6 poor metabolizers (PMs, n = 23), intermediate metabolizers (IMs, n = 121), normal metabolizers (NMs, n = 120) and ultrarapid metabolizers (UMs, n = 5). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed a 95% higher duloxetine C/D ratio in PMs compared with NMs (p = 0.009). Patients ≥65 years had a 56% higher C/D ratio than younger patients (p = 0.01), while women had a 46% higher C/D ratio than men (p = 0.04). In conclusion, the CYP2D6 PM phenotype is associated with a twofold higher concentration at recommended dosing compared with the NM phenotype. CYP2D6 PM females above 65 years are at particular risk of high duloxetine levels as they may obtain a threefold higher C/D ratio compared with younger, male NMs.

Transcriptional regulation of postnatal aortic development.

The aorta exhibits tremendous changes in geometry, composition, and mechanical properties during postnatal development. These changes are necessarily driven by transcriptional changes, both genetically programmed and mechano-responsive, but there has not been a careful comparison of time-course changes in the transcriptional profile and biomechanical phenotype. Here, we show that the greatest period of differential gene expression in the normal postnatal mouse aorta occurs prior to weaning at three weeks of age though with important evolution of many transcripts thereafter.

The biomechanics of embryonic notochords are studied using an elastic membrane model. An initial study varying internal pressure and stiffness ratio determines tension and geometric ratios as a function of internal pressure, membrane stiffness ratio, and cell packing pattern. A subsequent three-point bending study determines flexural rigidity as a function of internal pressure, configuration, and orientation.

The physical and geometric aspects of notochords are investigated using a model of finite-length notochords, with interior vacuolated cells arranged in two common packing configurations, and sheath modeled as homogeneous and thin. The key ratios governing packing patterns and eccentricity are number of cells per unit length λ and cell tension ratio Γ. By analyzing simulations that vary Γ and total number of cells N, we find that eccentricity, λ, and internal pressure approach consistent asymptotic values away from the tapering ends, as N increases.

Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on how organisms regulate growth to achieve their final size and shape, especially in multicellular organisms where growth must be coordinated across different tissues and organs.
- - Using the roundworm C. elegans as a model, researchers collected extensive data on growth measurements, feeding behavior, and size changes throughout development.
- - They proposed a model suggesting that physical constraints, specifically cuticle stretch, could inform C. elegans when to transition between developmental stages, influencing their growth rate and timing.

North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC, USA. Electronic address:
This paper develops a theoretical basis for the observed relationship between cell arrangements in notochords and analog physical models, and the eccentricity of their cross sections. Three models are developed and analyzed, of the mechanics of cell packing in sheaths. The key ratios governing the packing patterns and eccentricity are cells per unit length λ, tension ratio Γ, and eccentricity e.
