Primary cultures of prostate cells and their ability to activate carcinogens
Differences in the incidence of prostate cancer (CaP) amongst different migrant populations point to causative agents of dietary and/or environmental origin. Prostate tissues were obtained following transureth...

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons: Metabolism, Activation and Tumour Initiation
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are formed as products of the incomplete pyrolysis of organic materials and are present in considerable quantities in fossil fuel from which they are released by a variet...

The Involvement of Bay-Region and Non-Bay-Region Diol-epoxides in the in Vivo Binding of Benz(a)anthrocene Derivatives to DNA
Progress in the understanding of the metabolic activation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons has resulted from studies in which photon counting spectrophotofluorimetry has been used to examine the hydrocarbon...

Comparison of mutagenesis and malignant transformation by dihydrodiols from benz[a]anthracene and 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene
Five dihydrodiols derived from benz[a]anthracene (BA) and 4 dihydrodiols derived from 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) have been tested, together with the parent hydrocarbons, for their abilities to induc...

Biological activities of dihydrodiols derived from two polycyclic hydrocarbons in rodent test systems
Comparisons have been made between (a) the initiation of tumours in mouse skin, (b) the induction of hyperplasia and the suppression of sebaceous glands in mouse skin and (c) the induction of s.c. tumours in r...

Tumour-initiating activities on mouse skin of dihydrodiols derived from benzo[a]pyrene
Three dihydrodiols that are metabolites of benzo[a]pyrene and benzo[a]-pyrene itself have been tested in a comparative experiment for their activities as initiators of tumours in mouse skin. A single applicati...

The carcinogenicity of polycyclic hydrocarbon epoxides in newborn mice
Benz(a)anthracene injected subcutaneously during the first 3 days of life caused a dose related increase in the incidence of liver and lung tumours in Swiss mice but over a similar dose range, the K region epo...

Metabolic activation of benzo(a)pyrene proceeds by a diol-epoxide
CARCINOGENIC polycyclic hydrocarbons such as the widespread environmental contaminant, benzo(a)pyrene (Fig. 1a), undoubtedly require metabolic activitation. Boyland1 proposed that epoxides, whose formation is cat...

Variations dependent on Age and Diet in the Metabolism of 7,12-Dimethylbenz[a]-anthracene by Rat Liver Homogenates
7,12-DIMETHYLBENZ[A]ANTHRACENE (DMBA) causes severe adrenocortical necrosis when administered intragastrically to 50 day old rats1, but it has no effect on the adrenal glands of 25 day old animals2. The activity ...
