Abstract
Lots of factors can influence CYP2E1 activities, e.g. thyroid status, different types of anaemia (fanconi anaemia and sideroblastic anaemia), etc. Alcohol is a known inducer of CYP2E1, therefore a justifiable duration of abstinence is required before the subjects are enrolled into a study for normalization of CYP2E1 activity. In this letter we address these confounding factors and their role in CYP2E1 activity.
