|January 1, 1986
Abstract:
Examination of a healthy European population showed 60% to be "slow" acetylators and 40% "rapid" ones. A similar distribution was established in pediatric controls. Among children with Hodgkin's disease, there were 4.1 times more slow acetylators. N-acetyltransferase activity was found to increase with tumor advancement. Conversion of acetylation pattern was observed in pediatric patients with Hodgkin's disease.
