Abstract excerpt
Eighteen healthy Caucasians were evaluated for the systemic acetylation of a caffeine metabolite using the urinary caffeine metabolite ratio 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU) to 1-methylaxanthine (1X) and for N-acetyltransferase activity in peripheral blood mononuclear leukocytes (MNL) using p-aminobenzoic acid (PABA). These are markers for systemic NAT2 and NAT1 N-acetyltransferase activities,...
