Coffee, CYP1A2 Genotype, and Risk of Myocardial Infarction
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Kabagambe, Edmond K.; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2006)ontext The association between coffee intake and risk of myocardial infarction (MI) remains controversial. Coffee is a major source of caffeine, which is metabolized by the polymorphic cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) enzyme. ... -
Genetic polymorphism of CYP1A2 increases the risk of myocardial infarction
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2004)There is growing evidence that DNA damage caused by mutagens found in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). In order to bind to DNA many mutagens require metabolic activation by ... -
Genetic polymorphism of the adenosine A2A receptor is associated with habitual caffeine consumption
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)Background: Caffeine is the most widely consumed stimulant in the world, and individual differences in response to its stimulating effects may explain some of the variability in caffeine consumption within a population. ... -
GSTT1 genotype modifies the association between cruciferous vegetable intake and the risk of myocardial infarction
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)Background: Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are associated with protection against components of the metabolic syndrome, but the role of α-linolenic acid (ALA), the metabolic precursor of EPA and ... -
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase genotype and risk of myocardial infarction
Cornelis, Marilyn C.; El-Sohemy, Ahmed; Campos Núñez, Hannia (2007)DNA damage caused by mutagens found in tobacco smoke may contribute to the development of coronary heart disease (CHD). Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX1) is involved in the metabolism of tobacco smoke mutagens and an ...
