Abstract:

Regulating phase I and II enzyme, drug transporters and constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) play an important role in dug metabolism and keeping balance on the levels of glucose, lipids and hormone in serum. As a hub of material metabolism within body, CAR can affect the efficacy of various drugs and be involved in many common metabolic diseases. Studying its polymorphism is referential for explaining the individual difference genetically and predicting the occurrence and development of diseases. This review focuses on the correlation between the CAR polymorphism and metabolic, which provides evidence for predicting the development of disease and choosing clinical drug dosage.

Key words:  constitutive androstane receptor (CAR), polymorphism, material metabolism
