## Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 and __CYP2E1__ are enzymes with a high ability to activate a nitrosamine, 4‐(methylnitrosamino)‐1‐(3‐pyridyl)‐1‐butanone (NNK), to its potent and ultimate carcinogens. The polymorphic __CYP2A6__ and __CYP2E1__ have been implicated in increased susceptibility to
Liver receptor homolog-1 (LRH-1) is a nuclear receptor that controls a variety of metabolic pathways. In cultured cells, LRH-1 induces the expression of CYP7A1 and CYP8B1, key enzymes in bile salt synthesis. However, hepatic Cyp7a1 mRNA levels were not reduced upon hepatocyte-specific Lrh-1 deletion
