Abstract excerpt
2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is the most abundant heterocyclic amine derived from food, possibly involved in human carcinogenesis. We evaluated the formation of PhIP-DNA adducts in lymphocytes from 76 incident colorectal cancer patients likely to be exposed to dietary PhIP. To address the role of the metabolic polymorphisms relevant to PhIP-DNA adduct formation, the patients were...
