Abstract excerpt
The genetic constitution of mammalian enzymes involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics is one of the important factors responsible for large inter-individual differences in the rate of biotransformation and consequently the magnitude of genotoxic effects exerted in target tissues. The present st...
