Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To develop a predictive genetic model of nicotine metabolism. UDP-glucuronosyltransferase-2B10 (UGT2B10) is the primary catalyst of nicotine glucuronidation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The conversion of deuterated (D2)-nicotine to D2-nicotine-glucuronide, D2-cotinine, D2-cotinine-glucuronide, and D2-trans-3'-hydroxycotinine were quantified in 188 European Americans, and the contribution of UGT2B10...
