## Abstract We demonstrate in cell culture that mammary epithelial cells from normal human breast specimens metabolize benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and form adducts with the bases of their DNA more readily and at lower concentrations of BaP than do fibroblasts from the same specimens. BaP metabolism and ad

## Abstract We hypothesized that chlorophyllin (CHLN) would reduce benzo[__a__]pyreneβDNA (BPβDNA) adduct levels. Using normal human mammary epithelial cells (NHMECs) exposed to 4 ΞΌM BP for 24 hr in the presence or absence of 5 ΞΌM CHLN, we measured BPβDNA adducts by chemiluminescence immunoassay (C
## Abstract Efforts have been made to develop a chemoprevention strategy that selectively triggers apoptosis in malignant cancer cells. Previous studies showed that capsaicin, the major pungent ingredient of red pepper, had differential effect between normal and transformed cells. As an approach to
DNA adducts are mainly detected by 32 P-postlabeling and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays. We have established a method for detection of benzo[a]pyrene-diol-epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts by flow cytometry, and have clarified the effects of the DNA adducts on cell-cycle progression and the relationshi
## Abstract We studied the genotoxic potential of a carcinogen in the human hepatoma cell line, HepG2 and in primary rat hepatocyte culture. HepG2 is a well differentiated human hepatoblastoma cell line with biotransforming capacity. Rat hepatocytes were obtained by the standard twoβstep in situ pe
