Abstract: | In summary, our study provides a mechanism for the increased risk of orolaryngeal cancer in smokers with low-activity UGT genotypes. We have demonstrated that B[a]P phenols are more potent inducers of CYP1A1, CYP1B1 and COX-2 than the corresponding B[a]P glucuronides. These results support the concept of developing chemopreventive agents that induce UGTs such as UGT1A7 and UGT1A10. © Oxford University Press 2004; all rights reserved. |
