Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The antidiabetic drug glibenclamide is metabolized by the enzyme cytochrome P450 2C9 (CYP2C9) encoded by the polymorphic gene CYP2C9. Previous studies involving healthy volunteers have shown a significant influence of variant CYP2C9 genotypes on glibenclamide metabolism. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of genetic polymorphisms of CYP2C9 on the response to glibenclamide and on...
