Abstract excerpt
The total organic base fraction purified from fried ground beef is metabolized by human-liver microsomes to form mutagens detectable by the Ames/Salmonella bacterial assay. The mutagens produced have an absolute requirement for metabolic activation; without it, no increase in the number of revertants over background is seen. Microsomes from human liver activate the mutagens significantly more than microsomes from...
