Abstract excerpt
The extent to which N-acetylbenzidine and N,N'-diacetylbenzidine are formed may influence benzidine-induced carcinogenesis. This study compared the formation of these metabolites by rat and human liver slices. The relationship between the NAT2 genotype and the formation of these acetylated products was also evaluated in humans. In rat liver slices incubated with 0.05 mM [3H]benzidine for 1 h (n = 3),...
