Aim: To assess the distribution of CDA activity from whole blood of 142 healthy subjects, determining its main predictors among genetic (six CDA SNPs) and physiological factors (age and gender). Moreover, we performed a kinetic study of the two CDA protein variants (Q27 and K27) determined by ...

Aim: The interindividual variability in the dose required for effective methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) for opioid addiction may be influenced in part by genetic variations in genes encoding pharmacodynamic factors of methadone. This study was conducted to identify some of these ...

The OPRM1 gene encodes the µ-opioid receptor, which is the primary site of action of most opioids. Several studies and three meta-analyses have examined a possible link between the exonic OPRM1 A118G (rs1799971) polymorphism and opioid dependence; however, results have been inconclusive. ...

5-fluorouracil (5-FU) remains the cornerstone of all currently applied regimens for the treatment of patients with cancers of the gastrointestinal tract, breast, and head and neck. Unfortunately, a large variation in the clearance of 5-FU has been observed between patients, suggesting that ...

The kidney has attracted the attention of diabetologists as an organ involved in the regulation of glucose homeostasis not only by gluconeogenesis, but also by renal glucose excretion. Sodium–glucose cotransporters (SGLTs), particularly SGLT2, are responsible for reabsorption of up to 99% of ...

Advances in the management of patients after solid organ transplantation have led to dramatic decreases in rates of acute rejection, but long-term graft and patient survival have remained unchanged. Individualized therapy after transplant will ideally provide adequate immunosuppression while ...
