Abstract excerpt
Phenotyping by probe substrates of cytochrome P450 (CYP) and other metabolizing enzymes is widely used to assess the effects of genes, environment and ethnicity on the in vivo metabolism of drugs and environmental chemicals. The caffeine metabolic ratio, in urine, plasma or saliva, has been used extensively as an index of CYP1A2, N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2), xanthine oxidase (XO) and CYP2A6 enzymatic activities....
