Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND/AIMS: UDP-glucuronosyltransferases (UGTs) are important enzymes involved in glucuronidation of various exogenous and endogenous compounds. Studies were undertaken on the variability of three UGT enzyme activities in human livers. Enzyme activities were associated with genetic polymorphisms in UGT1A1 (UGT1A1*28) and UGT1A6 (UGT1A6*2). UGT1A1*28 is associated with Gilbert's syndrome, a deficiency in...
