Abstract excerpt
6 carcinogenic nitrosamines were studied in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 after activation by S9 and by hepatocytes. All nitrosamines were activated by S9 from induced rats, regardless of their organotropy. The hepatocarcinogenic nitrosamines (N-nitrosodimethylamine, NDMA; N-nitrosodiethylamine, NDEA; N-nitrosomorpholine, NM and N-nitrosodibutylamine, NDBA) were activated to mutagens by S9 and by hepatocytes both...
