Abstract excerpt
N-nitrosodiethanolamine (NDELA) has demonstrated carcinogenic activity in various rodent models. However, it is negative or only weakly active in standard in vitro genotoxicity assays. This poor response might be due to the requirement of specific enzymes for its activation. Previous work indicated that cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2E1, alcohol dehydrogenases and sulphotransferases (SULTs) can convert NDELA into...
