Abstract excerpt
Our method to evaluate acetylator phenotype and N-oxidation phenotype with a single caffeine dose and a single urine specimen collection has enabled us to examine acetylation and N-oxidation by two enzyme systems that have a known genetic polymorphism and are important in aromatic amine metabolism. Based on available data, we have hypothesized patients with urinary bladder cancer will have a higher frequency of...
