## Abstract ## Background. Factors determining the individual susceptibility to head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) are still largely unknown. An imbalance between enzymes involved in the toxification and detoxification of (pre)βcarcinogens closely related to HNSCC, which may appear duri

The iso-enzyme pattern of cytochrome P450 was shown to be related to the development of chemically induced hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in rats, which is accelerated by chronic alcohol ingestion. Our study was designed to investigate the association of cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1) genetic polymorp
## Abstract Cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2A6 and __CYP2E1__ are enzymes with a high ability to activate a nitrosamine, 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanone (NNK), to its potent and ultimate carcinogens. The polymorphic __CYP2A6__ and __CYP2E1__ have been implicated in increased susceptibility to
## Abstract UDPβglucuronosyltransferase 1A1 (UGT1A1) is an enzyme which catalyses not only the glucuronidation of tobacco smoke carcinogens like benzopyrene, but also of the endogenous substrate bilirubin. Bilirubin for a long time was considered to be only a toxic waste product of hemoglobin degra
