Background: Over 30% of cancer survivors experience chronic fatigue. An alteration in energy metabolism is one of the hypothesized mechanisms for cancer-related fatigue (CRF). No studies have evaluated for changes in metabolic profiles in
Abemaciclib is an orally administered, potent inhibitor of cyclin dependent kinases 4 and 6 (CDK4 and CDK6) and is metabolized extensively by cytochrome P450 (CYP) 3A4. The effects of abemaciclib on several CYPs were qualified in vitro and subsequently evaluated in a clinical study. In vitro, human
The caffeine test measures the activity of cytochrome p450 (CYP1A2) which is a major enzyme involved in the activation of flutamide. The usefulness of this test in predicting flutamide-induced hepatic injury in patients with prostate cancer was examined. The subjects were: (1). five patients whose
BACKGROUND
Coffee intake may be inversely associated with colorectal cancer; however, previous studies have been inconsistent. Serum coffee metabolites are integrated exposure measures that may clarify associations with cancer and elucidate underlying mechanisms.
OBJECTIVE
Our aims were 2-fold as
The four methylated xanthine derivatives, caffeine, theophylline, theobromine and paraxanthine, were tested for their ability to override the mitotic block induced by ionizing radiation in the human bladder carcinoma cell line RT112. All four agents were found to partially override the block,
The lower incidence rate of transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary bladder in blacks than in whites may be due to racial differences in the catalytic activity of enzymes that metabolize carcinogenic arylamines in tobacco smoke. To examine this, we compared cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) and
Cytochrome P4501A2 (CYP1A2) activity may be related to bladder cancer risk through metabolic activation of aromatic amines, such as 4-aminobiphenyl (ABP), to reactive intermediates that can form DNA and hemoglobin (Hb) adducts. In the context of a study on smoking and bladder cancer risk, 97 healthy
OBJECTIVE
Oltipraz is currently undergoing clinical evaluation as a cancer chemopreventive agent, especially with respect to aflatoxin-associated hepatocarcinogenesis. The agent's ability to induce phase II xenobiotic enzymes that detoxify the ultimate carcinogen formed in vivo is thought to be an
Caffeine is a member of the methylxanthine family of drugs, and is the most widely consumed behaviourally active substance in the western world. This article is focused on the impact of caffeine on immune function. In this regard, a number of in vitro and in vivo studies have demonstrated that
Herbal dietary supplements to promote health may be double-edge swords. A herbal dietary supplement, FastOne, which contains extracts of kola nut, grape, green tea and Ginkgo biloba, and is used as an agent for weight management, was administered to rats to test whether it induced CYP1A2, a
This study investigated the effect of in vitro exposure to caffeine, and its major metabolite paraxanthine, at concentrations relevant to typical caffeine consumption in humans, on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated cytokine production in human whole blood. In addition, a role for the cyclic
