Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Polymorphic cytochrome P-450 1A2, N-acetyltransferase 1, and 2 are important enzymes involved in the biotransformation of aromatic and heterocyclic amines known as carcinogens for colorectal cancer. A hospital-based study was designed to investigate the association between colorectal cancer and cytochrome P-450 1A2, N-acetyltransferase 1, and N-acetyltransferase 2, with the interaction of meat...
