Abstract excerpt
Epidemiological studies suggest that food rich in quercetin and naringin may protect against certain types of lung cancer, and that genotype dependent inhibition of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1)-mediated bioactivation of procarcinogens could be the underlying mechanism. We studied the inhibitory effects of quercetin and naringin on the terminal bioactivation step of benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), a member of the major...
