## Abstract Benzo(a)pyrene and benz(a)anthrancene which, in contrast to the K‐region epoxides benzo(a)pyrene 4,5‐oxide and benz(a)anthracene 5,6‐oxide, are not mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA 1537 in the absence of mammalian enzyme preparations, were activated by liver microsomes from C3H mi

## Abstract The hydrocarbon‐deoxyribonucleoside adducts formed in mouse skin DNA have been determined following topical application of an initiating dose of benzo(a)pyrene to Swiss mice, a strain shown to be susceptible to benzo(a)pyrene‐induced skin carcinogenesis. Several DNA‐bound products were
## Abstract DNA has been isolated from human bronchial segments that have been treated in short‐term organ culture with ^3^H‐labelled benzo(a)pyrene. DNA has also been isolated from mouse skin treated with ^3^H‐labelled samples of benzo(a)pyrene, with the related radioactive 4,5‐, 7,8‐ and 9,10‐dih
## Abstract Glutathione (GSH) conjugation of (+)‐anti‐benzo[__a__]pyrene‐7,8‐diol‐9,10‐epoxide [(+)‐anti‐BPDE], the activated metabolite of benzo[__a__]pyrene, is believed to be an important mechanism in detoxification of this environmental and dietary carcinogen. Here, we demonstrate that the intr
## Abstract Treatment of isolated rat liver nuclei with 7β, 8α‐dihydroxy‐9α, 10α‐epoxy‐7, 8, 9, 10‐tetrahy‐drobenzo[a]pyrene, the ultimate carcinogenic metabolite of benzo[a]pyrene, resulted in inhibition of transcription as measured by radioactive precursor incorporation into RNA. The mechanism of
