Abstract excerpt
Induction of a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon-metabolizing cytochrome P450 isoform CYP1A1 is regulated by aromatic hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). High inducibility of CYP1A1, possibly due to genetic polymorphisms, has been considered to be a risk factor for lung cancer in tobacco smokers. The relationship between low or high pulmonary expression of CYP1A1 and polymorphic genotypes of CYP1A1 and AHR was investigated...
