What Factors Influence CYP Enzyme Activity in Children?
Several factors can influence CYP enzyme activity in children, including:
1. Genetic Variability: Genetic polymorphisms can lead to differences in enzyme activity between individuals. 2. Age: Enzyme activity can vary significantly with age due to developmental changes. 3. Diet and Nutrition: Certain foods and nutrients can induce or inhibit CYP enzyme activity. 4. Environmental Exposures: Exposure to environmental chemicals can affect CYP enzyme activity. 5. Concurrent Medications: Some drugs can induce or inhibit CYP enzymes, affecting the metabolism of other medications.
