Acetaminophen metabolism in patients with different cytochrome P-4502E1 genotypes.

Abstract excerpt

Cytochrome P-450 (CYP) 2E1 is the major ethanol-oxidizing enzyme of the nonalcohol dehydrogenase metabolic pathway in the liver. Recently, the presence of genetic polymorphisms of this enzyme was confirmed. In this study, to clarify the influence of CYP2E1 genotype on alcohol metabolism, we analyzed acetaminophen metabolism in subjects with different CYP2E1 genotypes. In normal subjects, a half-life of...
