Abstract excerpt
N-acetyltransferase 2 (NAT2) catalyzes the acetylation of isoniazid to N-acetylisoniazid. NAT2 polymorphism explains 88% of isoniazid clearance variability in adults. We examined the effects of clinical and genetic factors on Michaelis-Menten reaction kinetic constants of maximum velocity (Vmax) and affinity (Km) in children 0-10years old. We measured the rates of isoniazid elimination and N-acetylisoniazid...
