Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To analyse the relationship between cytochrome P4502E1 (CYP2E1) activity as assessed by the chlorzoxazone metabolic ratio (CMR) and frequent CYP2E1 genotypes ( CYP2E1*5B, *6, *1B and *1D) and to assess the value of CMR in refining the biomonitoring of exposure to styrene. METHODS: Thirty-one workers from a fibreglass-reinforced plastics factory took part in the study. Ambient styrene concentration was...
