1 Implication of UGT2B15 Genotype Polymorphism on Postoperative Anxiety Levels in Patients Receiving Lorazepam Premedication. Lorazepam UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B15 Homo sapiens
2 The UGT2B15 genotype is of importance for the metabolism of lorazepam. Lorazepam UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B15 Homo sapiens
3 The clinical effect of genetic polymorphisms in UGT2B15 genotype on the treatment of anxiety levels in same-day surgery patients receiving lorazepam, however, is unknown. Lorazepam UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B15 Homo sapiens
4 Striking was that females with high preoperative anxiety scores and genetically reduced lorazepam glucuronidation (UGT2B15*2 homozygotes) showed more postoperative anxiety reduction than males with the same genotype. Lorazepam UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B15 Homo sapiens
5 CONCLUSIONS: UGT2B15 genotype contributes to postoperative anxiety reduction after lorazepam premedication. Lorazepam UDP glucuronosyltransferase family 2 member B15 Homo sapiens
