Species Differences in DNA Damage by Butadiene: Role of Diepoxybutane
In microsomal incubates 1,3-butadiene (BD) is metabolized by cytochrome P- 450 to its epoxide 1,2-epoxybutene (EB). Further metabolic transformation of the epoxide intermediate by epoxide hydrolase and/or mono...

Species Differences in Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and DNA Binding of Inhaled 1,3-Butadiene
1,3-Butadiene, a major component in synthetic rubber and adiponitrile manufacture, has been found to produce cancer at multiple anatomic sites in two species of experimental animals. In an inhalation bioassay ...
