Abstract excerpt
Pathogenesis of many diseases is related to the influence of noxious environmental agents coupled with individual genetic sensitivity that depends on the function of detoxificating enzymes.

Genetically determined acetylation rate reduction with exposure to neurotoxins may contribute to the development of...
