Abstract excerpt
Approximately 40% of human P450-dependent drug metabolism is carried out by polymorphic enzymes, which can cause abolished, quantitatively or qualitatively altered or enhanced drug metabolism. The latter situation is due to stable duplication, multiduplication or amplification of active genes, most likely in response to dietary components that have resulted in a selection of alleles with multiple non-inducible...
