Abstract excerpt
NADPH: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and dihydronicotinamide riboside: quinone oxidoreductase 2 (NQO2) are cytosolic enzymes that catalyze reductive activation of carcinogens from cigarette smoke, such as nitrosamines and heterocyclic amines. These enzymes also protect cells against oxidative damage from reactive oxygen species. The present study investigated the associations of genetic variants of NQO1 609C>T...
