Abstract

Dietary and nutritional factors are known to influence the biotransformation of drugs and environmental chemicals. Early studies by Wattenberg (Wattenberg, 1971) demonstrated that rats on commercial rat chow had a 68-fold higher intestinal benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase activity than those on a purified diet. In human studies, ingestion of cabbage and brussels sprouts was shown to increase the metabolism of antipyrine and phenacetin (Conney, 1982, Pantuck and Pan tuck, 1978). Human volunteers on a low-protein diet had lower rates of metabolic clearance of antipyrine and theophylline than those on a high-protein diet (Kappas, et al., 1976). Recent studies demonstrated the transcriptional activation of specific cytochrome P450 genes by dietary chemicals (Pan, et al., 1993, Vang, et al., 1990) and the inhibition of nifedipine metabolism in humans after ingestion of grapefruit juice (Bailey, et al, 1990). Many of these studies have been discussed in several recent reviews (Anderson, et al., 1985, Bidlack, et al., 1986, Hathcock, 1985, Yang, et al., 1992, Yang and Yoo, 1988).
