BACKGROUND Omeprazole is metabolized predominantly by CYP2C19, a polymorphically expressed enzymes that show marked interindividual and interethnic variation. These variations cause a substantial differences that have been reported in the pharmacokinetics of omeprazole. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the pharmacokinetic parameters of omeprazole in a random Iranian population. ME...

the environmental procarcinogen which are responcible for carcinogenesis, to form the proximate carcinogen, they require metabolic activation by drug metabolizing enzymes. the cyp3a subfamily enzymes play an important role in elimination of drugs. the substrates for cyp3a4 enzyme include drugs, and endogenous substances. therefore, allelic changes in the coding regions of cyp3a4, increases the ...

aim: the objective of this study was to evaluate the time trend of helicobacter pylori ( h. pylori ) prevalence and presence of intestinal metaplasia over the period of 7 years in gastritis iranian patients. background: h. pylori are the major causal factor in chronic gastritis. its acquisition leads to a chronic, usually lifelong, inflammation of the gastric mucosa, which may gradually progres...
