Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Quercetin is abundant in plants and human diets. Previous studies indicated that quercetin inhibited the activity of CYP1A2, and the combination of quercetin with the substrates of CYP1A2 might produce herb-drug interactions. This research aims to determine the effects of quercetin and the CYP1A2 gene polymorphisms, namely, CYP1A2*1C (-2964G>A) and *1F (734C>A), on the metabolism of caffeine. METHOD:...
