Abstract excerpt
This study investigated the relationship in human placenta between polycyclic aromatic hydrocabon (PAH)-DNA adduct levels and two biomarkers of cytochrome P4501A1 (CYP1A1): gene induction evidenced by CYP1A1 mRNA, and a genetic polymorphism, the CYP1A1 MspI RFLP. CYP1A1 codes for an inducible enz...
