Zusammenfassung
It has been shown that cytochrome P402E1 (CYP2E1) is induced in alcoholic liver disease (ALD)1 and in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)2. Hepatic CYP2E1 is responsible for the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which may stimulate fibrogenesis and carcinogenesis since hepatic CYP2E1 correlates significantly with highly carcinogenic exocyclic etheno DNA-adducts (edA) 3. In experimental ALD inhibition of CYP2E1 by chlormethiazole (CMZ), a strong CYP2E1 inhibitor prevents ALD partially4 and inhibits carcinogenesis. The purpose of this study was to further investigate the role of CYP2E1 in patients…
