“…For chronic hepatitis B virus carriers with high-titer viremia (>10(5) virions/ml) are at increased risk for liver cancer, hepatitis B virus may also impact the function of cytochrome P450 (P450) CYP2E1 enzyme (Harris et al, 2003). What's more, alteration in the level of CYP2E1 might influence the health effects of the environmental pollutants (Lucas et al 2001). Therefore the differences of environment in Asian countries might contribute to the distinction of CYP2E1 impact.…”

“…Results of epidemiologic studies indicated that exposure to pesticides was associated with increased risk from cancer (Blair and White 1981;Blair et al 1983;Brown et al 1990;Burmeister 1981;Council on Scientific Affairs 1988;Lucas et al 2001;Mills and Zahm 2001). No congenital malformations were reported in the offspring of workers occupationally exposed to pesticides.…”

“…Evidence of the carcinogenic effects of certain pesticides in animals and an increase in the risk of developing malignancies in occupationally exposed populations have made necessary studies in exposed workers (Lucas et al 2001;Mills and Zahm 2001). Some demographic characteristics may also be useful in categorizing pesticide exposure (Echols et al 2001), in the same manner as studies such as a detailed questionnaire survey concerning the lifetime use of pesticides by workers (Engel et al 2001).…”

“…Because of its wide range of substrates (aromatic and halogenated hydrocarbons, halogenated anaesthetics, alcohols, nitrosamines…), this cytochrome plays an important role in the field of clinical toxicology [23]. Several CYP2E1 genetic polymorphisms are currently detectable applying techniques involving the RsaI, TaqI, DraI and PstI restriction enzymes, but the clinical significance of these polymorphisms remains unclear, partly because no convincing association between CYP2E1 catalytic activities and their genotypes has been demonstrated [24][25][26].…”
