Abstract excerpt
An N-acetylation polymorphism is described that is expressed toward arylamine carcinogens in tumor target organs of an inbred rat model. High levels (rapid acetylator phenotype) of arylamine carcinogen N-acetyltransferase activity were observed in kidney, colon, prostate and urinary bladder cytosols derived from Fischer (F-344) inbred rats, the strain most commonly used for tumor bioassay studies and the strain...
