Abstract excerpt
The ethanol-inducible cytochrome P4502E1 (2E1) is involved in the bioactivation of numerous hepatotoxins and hepatocarcinogens. Because high levels of expression may enhance the degree and severity of hepatotoxicity from exposure to chemicals metabolized by this enzyme, a relatively noninvasive method to phenotypically distinguish those individuals exhibiting elevated concentrations of 2E1 may be useful. With...
