Abstract excerpt
Ten heterocyclic amines (HCAs) that are produced by heating amino acids, proteins, or proteinaceous food such as fish and meat were examined for carcinogenicity in rats and mice. Three of them, 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), 2-amino-3,4-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (MeIQ), and 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP), have been shown to induce mammary cancer in female F344 and/or...
