Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is the most abundant mutagenic heterocyclic amine (HCA) present in cooked foods. PhIP induces colon cancer in male Fischer 344 (F344) rats, and its role in human colon carcinogenesis has been suspected. To study the ecogenetics in PhIP colon carcinogenesis, rat system using aberrant crypt focus (ACF) formation as a phenotypic marker was applied. Among Buffalo...
