Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We investigated the role of genetic, physiological, environmental, and epigenetic factors in regulating CYP2A6 expression and nicotine metabolism. METHODS: Human livers (n = 67) were genotyped for CYP2A6 alleles and assessed for nicotine metabolism and CYP2A6 expression (mRNA and protein). In addition, a subset of livers (n = 18), human cryopreserved hepatocytes (n = 2), and HepG2 cells were used for DNA...
