Nutrient regulation of chemical metabolism in humans.
Review
Overview
abstract
Dietary protein, carbohydrate, cruciferous vegetables, and charcoal-broiled beef can markedly alter the patterns of chemical biotransformations in normal subjects. The specific nutritional factors capable of altering the metabolism of drugs and the range of chemicals, including hormones, whose metabolism can be altered by diet in humans merit further study because they have the potential to influence the biological impact of these substances in humans.
