Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Ethanol abuse is the most prevalent cause of liver cirrhosis in Spain. Genetic polymorphisms affect the activity of the enzymes involved in ethanol metabolism and in processing the toxic by-products generated in the liver. N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) is a polymorphic phase 2 enzyme not involved in these processes, but recent data suggest that the most prevalent slow acetylator genotype protects...
