1 Jan 1994
Abstract excerpt
1. Considerable evidence has been accumulated that orthologous rat and human P450 forms oxidize numerous chemicals in a highly similar manner, including the detoxication and activation of mutagens and carcinogens. 2.

Certain mutagens and carcinogens can be activated in a similar way...
