## Abstract 2βaminoβ1βmethylβ6βphenylimidazo[4,5β__b__]pyridine (PhIP) is the most abundant heterocyclic amine derived from food, possibly involved in human carcinogenesis. We evaluated the formation of PhIPβDNA adducts in lymphocytes from 76 incident colorectal cancer patients likely to be exposed
## 2-Amino -1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) is the most abundant heterocyclic aromatic amine found in cooked meat. It is metabolically activated by the human cytochrome P450 enzymes to form the carcinogenic metabolite N 2 -OH-PhIP. PhIP has been found to induce tumors in rats and is
