Abstract excerpt
The metabolism of paracetamol and phenacetin has been studied in subjects previously phenotyped as either extensive or poor metabolisers of debrisoquine (EM and PM, respectively), in order to examine the relationship between phenacetin and paracetamol activation and debrisoquine oxidation status. In separate experiments, paracetamol and phenacetin were administered orally to groups of 5 EM and 5 PM subjects, and...
