Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are an important part of the protection system against a wide range of potentially harmful chemical compounds. GSTP1 and GSTM1 are mainly involved in detoxification reactions of PAH carcinogenic intermediates produced by cytochrome P450 (CYP). Polymorphism of the GST genes may influence the level of carcinogen-DNA adducts in human tissues and be associated with individual...
