“…paraxanthine (81.5%) (Campbell, Grant, Inaba, & Kalow, 1987;Gu, Gonzalez, Kalow, & Tang, 1992;Tassaneeyakul et al, 1994), by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, in particular the P-450 1A2, which is coded by the gene CYP1A2 (Lelo, Birkett, Robson, & Miners, 1986;Miners & Birkett, 1996). An A to C substitution at position À163 (rs762551) in the CYP1A2 gene may explain inter-individual variation in caffeine metabolism rate (Aklillu et al, 2003;Chevalier et al, 2001;Grosso & Bracken, 2005;Han et al, 2001;Nakajima et al, 1999;Sachse, Brockmoller, Bauer, & Roots, 1999;Sachse et al, 2003;Signorello et al, 2001). Carriers of the À163C allele can be considered slow caffeine metabolizers, whereas homozygous for the À163A allele are more rapid caffeine metabolizers (Cornelis, El-Sohemy, & Campos, 2007;Sachse et al, 1999).…”
