Abstract excerpt
The genotoxicity of nitroaromatic compounds was examined in two cultured cell lines, namely, a human hepatoma cell line, HepG2, and a brown bullhead fibroblast cell line, BB. Furthermore, the role of the quinone-reducing enzyme DT diaphorase [NAD(P)H:(quinone acceptor) oxidoreductase] was examined with respect to its influence on the genotoxic effects of model nitroaromatic pollutants. The nitroreductive...
