Abstract excerpt
Liver is a prime site for conversion of inorganic arsenic (iAs) to methylated metabolites, including methylarsenicals (MAs) and dimethylarsenicals (DMAs). To assess interindividual variation in the capacity of liver to metabolize iAs, we examined the metabolic fate of arsenite (iAs(III)) in normal primary human hepatocytes obtained from eight donors and cultured under standard conditions. Methylation rates,...
