Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to better understand genetic variation in the cytochrome P450 (CYP) gene CYP1A2 and its impact on CYP1A2 activity in Chinese subjects. METHODS: CYP1A2 genetic polymorphisms were screened by direct sequencing in 27 selected Chinese subjects. Plasma 1,7-dimethylxanthine/caffeine ratios 5 hours after a 100-mg caffeine administration, used as an index of CYP1A2 in vivo activity,...
