Abstract excerpt
Caffeine metabolite ratios have been widely used to measure cytochrome P-450 1A2 activity in humans. Serum paraxanthine/caffeine ratio is one such index of this activity. We had previously demonstrated genetic variation of this trait among inbred mouse strains. In the present study, we have undertaken a genome-wide scan for quantitative trait loci affecting this trait with an interval mapping approach on an F(2)...
