Abstract excerpt
Although mouse, hamster, and rabbit models of the human N-acetylation polymorphism have been identified and characterized, many investigations of arylamine toxicity and carcinogenicity are carried out in the rat, particularly the Fischer 344 (F-344) inbred rat. We partially characterized a new rat model of the N-acetylation polymorphism by determining expression of arylamine N-acetyltransferase activities in...
