Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1), catalyzing the conjugation of various reactive molecules with glutathione (GSH), shows genetic polymorphism in humans. Almost half of all Caucasians lack the GSTM1 gene, being theoretically at a higher risk from the toxic effects of substrates for GSTM1. The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether the GSTM1 genotype of lymphocyte donors influences the in vitro...
