Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate if the nicotine metabolite ratio (NMR, the ratio of nicotine metabolites 3'-hydroxycotinine/cotinine) is a reliable phenotypic biomarker for nicotine clearance across races, and as a function of differences in the rate of nicotine, cotinine and 3'-hydroxycotinine glucuronidation and UGT genotypes. METHODS: Participants [Caucasians (Whites), African Americans (Blacks) and Asian-Americans...
