Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The Effects of CYP2B6 Genetic Variants on Ketamine Metabolism and Clearance by CYP2B6*6 Hetero or Homozygote Genotype.up to 24 hours

Ketamine metabolism, measured as the plasma norketamine/ketamine AUC ratio in CYP2B6\*6 carriers (CYP2B6\*6 hetero or homozygotes) compared to the wild-type CYP2B6\*1/\*1 genotype Ketamine, norketamine, and dehydronorketamine concentrations in plasma and urine were determined by enantioselective HPLC tandem mass spectrometry, using solid phase extraction, based on a modification of a published method.
