Figure 3.
CYP2D6 phenotypic ratios in normal weight, overweight, and morbid obese subjects with 2 functional alleles before (baseline), at 1 month, and 6 months after bariatric surgery. CYP2D6 phenotypic ratios were assessed with the urinary dextromethorphan/dextrorphan molar ratio (8-hour collection). A lower dextromethorphan/dextrorphan molar ratio implies an increase in CYP2D6 metabolic activity, and viceversa. Abbreviations: DXM: dextromethorphan, DX: dextrorphan, MO: morbidly obese.
