Abstract
This paper provides a broad review of the topic, but particularly emphasizes the definition of genetic factors that may cause interethnic differences in the capacity to metabolize drugs and toxic chemicals and recent case studies of dehydrogenases and mixed function oxidases.This publication has 40 references indexed in Scilit:
