Abstract excerpt
Drug-drug and food-drug interactions are often due to an inhibition or induction of drug-metabolizing cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes and may result in non-response or adverse reactions. Hence, phenotypic biomarkers of CYP activity appear as useful tools for individualized pharmacotherapy. The metabolic ratio (MR) of the concentration of 6beta-hydroxycortisol (6beta-OHC) to cortisol (MR 6beta-OHC/cortisol) in human...
