Expression of Cytochrome P450 Genes Encoding Enzymes Active in the Metabolism of Tamoxifen in Human Uterine Endometrium
1 Feb 1998
Abstract excerpt
Long-term tamoxifen therapy is associated with increased risk of uterine endometrial cancer and benign alterations. Tamoxifen is metabolized to reactive intermediates by endometrial tissue, and tamoxifen therapy-induced DNA adducts have been found in human endometrium. Since metabolic activation is often catalyzed by cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes, the expression profile of individual xenobiotic-metabolizing CYP...
