چکیده

Antioxidants inhibit the rat liver microsomal mixed-function-oxidase-catalysed hydroxylation of benzo[a]pyrene. These antioxidants also decrease the formation of mutagenic products from benzo[a]pyrene as judged by the Ames bacterial-mutagenicity assay [B.N. Ames, J. McCann & E. Yamazaki (1975) Mutat. Res. 31, 347-364]. It is suggested that antioxidants exert their protective effect against cancer by inhibiting the formation of carcinogenic metabolites.

Presentation of benzo(a)pyrene to microsomal enzymes by asbestos fibers in the Salmonella/mammalian microsome mutagenicity test.

The potential effect of asbestos fibers on mutagenicity of benzo(a)pyrene was investigated by using the Ames test. Asbestos fibers without a coating of benzo(a)pyrene or benzo(a)pyrene when not dissolved in DMSO lacked any mutagenic effect in the Salmonella/mammalian microsome mutagenicity test. However, when benzo(a)pyrene was adsorbed onto asbestos, significant numbers of mutated bacteria wer...

Biotransformation of benzo[a]pyrene (BaP) in the presence of microsomal fractions derived from liver and epiderm of adult and weanling rats was examined. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of age on the capacity of two organs in transformation of BaP. Subcellular fractions were prepared from skin and liver by ultracentrifugation and were used as the source of BaP metabolizing enzy...
