Abstract excerpt
Human epidemiological studies suggest an association between rapid acetylator phenotype and the incidence of colorectal cancer. Genetic regulation of acetyl coenzyme A-dependent N-acetyltransferase (NAT) and O-acetyltransferase (OAT) enzymatic activities may play a role in the metabolic activation of arylamine chemicals in the intestine and colon. In this study, the inheritance of acetyltransferase activity in...
