Abstract excerpt
N-nitroso compounds (NOC) are genotoxic, carcinogenic to animals, and may play a role in human cancer development. Because the gastro-intestinal tract is an important route of exposure through endogenous nitrosation, we hypothesize that NOC exposure targets genetic processes relevant in colon carcinogenesis. To investigate these genomic responses, we analyzed the transcriptomic effects of genotoxic concentrations...
