Aflatoxin B1 transfer and metabolism in human placenta.
Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1), a common dietary contaminant, is a major risk factor of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Early onset of HCC in some countries in Africa and South-East Asia indicates the importance of early life exposure. Placenta is the primary route for various compounds, both nutrients and toxins, from the mother to the fetal circulation. Furthermore, placenta contains enzymes for xenobio...
متن کاملThe Placenta and Protein Metabolism
Plasma proteins tagged in vivo by feeding D-L-lysine-epsilon-C(14) to donor dogs have been administered to pregnant dogs by both oral and intravenous routes. A relatively small percentage of the C(14) activity originally incorporated in these proteins is found to pass from mother to fetus after intravenous injection. The amount transferred tends to increase with the length of gestation period a...

متن کاملMetabolism of synthetic steroids by the human placenta.
Pregnant women with asthma are frequently exposed to synthetic glucocorticoids and glucocorticoids are known to reduce fetal growth. The fetus is normally protected from the harmful effects of maternally derived glucocorticoids by the placental enzyme 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 2 (11beta-HSD2). Whether 11beta-HSD2 inactivates the synthetic glucocorticoids used for asthma treatment...
متن کاملPhenobarbital, drug metabolism, and human cancer.
To investigate the possible influence of anticonvulsant treatment on cancer risk, a nested case-control study of 104 lung cancers, 18 bladder cancers, and 322 cancer-free controls was conducted. The background for the study was previous observations among 8004 epileptics in Denmark with a significantly high risk for lung cancer and a significantly low risk for bladder cancer. Cigarette smoking ...
