Abstract excerpt
Xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes are known to play a role in the metabolic activation of environmental mutagens and carcinogens to exert their carcinogenic effects as well as detoxification by increasing their hydrophilicity. These enzymes include cytochrome P450s, glutathione S-transferases (GSTs), acetyltransferases (NATs) and sulfotransferases. Genetic polymorphisms in many of these enzymes, such as CYP1A1,...
