Sulfotransferases (SULTs) are very important multifunctional enzymes that catalyze
sulfonate conjugation, which is an important pathway in the phase II metabolism of
numerous endogenous and exogenous compounds. Sulfotransferase 1A1 (SULT1A1) is
active toward a wide range of substrates, including environmental and tobacco carcinogens.
This case-control study involved collection of peripheral blood samples (2–5 mL) of 103 lung
