Abstract excerpt
Obesity and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affect expression and function of cytochrome P450 genes (P450s). The increased expression of inflammatory cytokines is a major driver of the downregulation of P450 expression in NAFLD. Decrease in P450 expression could potentially lead to drug-drug interaction, inefficient pharmacological effect of a drug, or hepatotoxicity. An epigenetic modifier, histone 3...
