The Far Eastern and Caucasian populations are strikingly different with respect to the debrisoquine/sparteine hydroxylation polymorphism. The number of poor metabolizers, as defined for Caucasians, is very low among Chinese and Japanese. We investigated the molecular basis for this difference by ana

β¦ Synopsis
Plasma protein C deficiency is associated with inherited thrombotic disease. Allelic frequencies of five previously reported DNA polymorphisms and a new polymorhic site (C8480T) were calculated in Asian and

Individual differences exist between patients, and, for topical therapy, differences in skin due to race may be a consideration. Pharmacological response depends upon the percutaneous absorption and the inherent activity of the chemical once absorbed into the biological system. Our objective was to
The protein encoded by the pancreatic colipase (CLPS) gene is an essential cofactor needed by pancreatic triglyceride lipase (PNLIP) for efficient dietary lipid hydrolysis. Since the inhibition of lipase activity was shown to reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus, we tested the hypothesis
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND. Obesity is a major risk factor for endometrial cancer. Obesity, particularly central obesity, is considered as a systemic inflammatory condition and is related strongly to insulin resistance. Cβreactive protein (CRP) is the most recognized biologic marker of chronic syst
