Abstract excerpt
Heterocyclic amines are ubiquitously present in cooked meats and fish. They represent an important class of food-borne carcinogens. We describe the cytotoxic, apoptotic, and mutagenic responses of mismatch repair-proficient (TK6) and mismatch repair-deficient (MT1) human lymphoblastoid cells to PhIP, the most abundant heterocyclic amine. Dose-dependent increases in cytotoxicity, in apoptosis, and in mutant...
