A review of smoking behavior and smokers evidence (chemical modification, inducing nicotine metabolism, and individual variations by genotype: dopaminergic function and personality traits).

Abstract excerpt

The nicotine metabolism of CYP2A6 (CYP2A6*1A,*1B, and *1C), and the cholecystokinin (CCK; which modulates the release of dopamine) and CCK-A receptor gene and personality traits for NEO-FFI, was investigated for the mechanism for elucidation of the smoking behavior in Japanese populations. The frequency of the CYP2A6*4C allele, which is a whole deleted allele of the human CYP2A6 gene, was higher, whereas that of...
