Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Omeprazole is metabolized by cytochrome P450 (CYP2C19). The activity of this enzyme is polymorphic, with incidences of poor metabolizers (PMs), heterozygous extensive metabolizers (EMs), and homozygous EMs in white populations of 3%, 30%, and 67%, respectively. The importance of the CYP2C19 polymorphism for the effects of omeprazole on intragastric pH and plasma gastrin concentrations has been...
