Abstract excerpt
1-Nitropyrene, a tumorigenic environmental pollutant, is mutagenic in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells in the presence of a liver homogenate 9000 g supernatant fraction (S9). The metabolic pathways involved in this response were studied by comparing the mutagenicities at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl transferase locus of 1-nitropyrene, some oxidized microsomal metabolites of 1-nitropyrene, and related...
