Abstract excerpt
The levels of covalently bound arylamine-hemoglobin and DNA adduct formation were used as dosimeters to measure the effect of acetylator genotype and sex on the metabolic conversion of the carcinogen, 2-aminofluorene, to reactive intermediates. A single high dose of 2-aminofluorene (60 mg/kg b.wt. i.p.) was administered to male and female homozygous rapid (Patr/Patr) acetylator hamsters (MHA/SsLaK) and homozygous...
