Folate catabolites in spot urine as non-invasive biomarkers of folate status during habitual intake and folic acid supplementation. [PDF]
Folate status, as reflected by red blood cell (RCF) and plasma folates (PF), is related to health and disease risk. Folate degradation products para-aminobenzoylglutamate (pABG) and para-acetamidobenzoylglutamate (apABG) in 24 hour urine have recently ...

Acetylator Genotype-Dependent Dyslipidemia in Rats Congenic for N-Acetyltransferase 2
Recent reports suggest that arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NAT1 and/or NAT2) serve important roles in regulation of energy utility and insulin sensitivity. We investigated the interaction between diet (control vs. high-fat diet) and acetylator phenotype

Polymorphisms in GSTT1, GSTM1, NAT1 and NAT2 genes and bladder cancer risk in men and women [PDF]
Background: Cigarette smoking is an established risk factor for bladder cancer. Epidemiological and biological data suggest that genetic polymorphisms in activating and detoxifying enzymes may play a role in determining an individual's susceptibility to ...

Neonatal Ontogeny of Murine Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases: Implications for Arylamine Genotoxicity [PDF]
Age-related changes in the expression of xenobiotic biotransformation enzymes can result in differences in the rates of chemical activation and detoxification, affecting responses to the therapeutic and/or toxic effects of chemicals. Despite recognition that children and adults may exhibit differences in susceptibility to chemicals, information about ...

N-acetyltransferase 1 (NAT1) is a xenobiotic metabolizing enzyme that uses acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) as a cofactor for N-acetylation of many carcinogens including aromatic amines and alkylanilines. NAT1 is characterized by single nucleotide polymorphisms

Effect of gene-gene and gene-environment interactions associated with antituberculosis drug-induced hepatotoxicity [PDF]
This study evaluated the association between environmental factors and genetic variations in enzymes that metabolize antituberculosis (anti-TB) drugs [arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2, cytochrome P450 2E1 (CYP2E1), glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1)

Structure and Mechanism of Arylamine N-Acetyltransferases
Arylamine N-acetyltransferases (NATs) are a family of phase II drug-metabolising enzymes which are important in the biotransformation of various aromatic and heterocyclic amines and hydroxylamines, arylhydrazines and arylhydrazides. NATs are present in a wide range of eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

NAT2 global landscape: Genetic diversity and acetylation statuses from a systematic review
Arylamine N-acetyltransferase 2 has been related to drug side effects and cancer susceptibility; its protein structure and acetylation capacity results from the polymorphism’s arrays on the NAT2 gene.
