Abstract excerpt
Bile acids have been implicated in the aetiology of colon cancer. We have previously found, using 32P-postlabelling, that bile from control patients and from patients with familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) produces DNA adducts when incubated with salmon sperm DNA in vitro. In the present study we have incubated the common primary and secondary, conjugated and unconjugated bile acids with salmon sperm DNA in...
