Abstract excerpt
Aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are assumed to be preneoplastic lesions in both rodent and human carcinogenesis. The colon carcinogen 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB), like other arylamines, undergoes N-acetylation and O-acetylation by polymorphic acetyltransferase (NAT2). In the present study we characterized ACF in hamster colon for the first time and compared the ability of DMAB to induce ACF in homozygous rapid...
