Mechanism by which ethanol inhibits phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis in human leukemic monocyte-like U937 cells.

abstract：:Differences in metabolism of drugs can lead to severe toxicity or therapeutic failure. In addition to cytochrome P450 2D6, which plays a critical role in drug metabolism, ABCB1 encoded P-glycoprotein (PGP) is also an important determinant in drug bioavailability. The genes encoding these molecules are highly variable ...
