Abstract excerpt
Pharmacokinetics in individual subjects is determined by genes and environment. The relative contributions of enzyme induction and inherited genomic variation to cytochrome P450 enzyme 2C9 (CYP2C9) activity are unknown. In 130 volunteers, CYP2C9 activity was measured in vivo using tolbutamide as a probe drug. Tolbutamide was administered orally, and the pharmacokinetics of the drug was analyzed twice--before and...
