Abstract excerpt
The cytochrome P450 CYP1A2 is important in the metabolism of both drugs and procarcinogens such as heterocyclic amines. We aimed to clarify the existence of a phenotypic polymorphism and explore the molecular basis of such a polymorphism. Ninety-two non-smoking individuals underwent caffeine phenotyping. The distribution of the 1,7-dimethylxanthine + 1,7-dimethyluracil/caffeine (17U + 17X/137X) ratio and...
