Abstract excerpt
The objectives of the this study were to assess the influence of CYP3A5 genotype and sex on the variability in total CYP3A activity and to compare 4β-hydroxycholesterol and omeprazole sulfoxidation as phenotypic markers for CYP3A activity in Ethiopians. Healthy subjects (n=150) were genotyped for CYP3A5*3, *6 and *7 using allele-specific PCR and Taqman genotyping assays. Plasma levels of 4β-hydroxycholesterol,...
