Abstract excerpt
The susceptibility of a tissue to the toxic and/or carcinogenic effects of chemicals is determined by a variety of factors, which include their rate of metabolic activation by the cytochrome P450-dependent monooxygenases. Individual differences in the levels of cytochrome P450 expression would be expected, and are known, to give rise to profound differences in toxicological response. Such effects are almost best...
