When multidrug therapy regimens are used, the issue frequently becomes more apparent. The causes for this variation appear to be connected to the multi-factorial regulation of the machinery governing drug destiny and biological activity in the body. This machinery includes cell-signaling, metabolic, and transport systems, which are encoded by their respective genes and, in turn, are controlled by a variety of parameters such as age, gender, race, lipidemic, and endocrinological status. The respiratory, immunological,cardiovascular,gastrointestinal,endocrinological, and central neu.. Read More»
