Abstract excerpt
In this study, we evaluated the effects of the genetic polymorphism of ALDH2 (low Km aldehyde dehydrogenase) on toluene metabolism and determined biological exposure indices (BEIs) of the genotypes of ALDH2. The study subjects included 45 toluene workers and 122 nonexposed students. The genotype of ALDH2 was classified into the homozygous genotype of normal ALDH2 (NN), the homozygous genotype of an inactive one...
