## Abstract Urinary metabolites of the tobaccoβspecific nitrosamine 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanone (NNK), 4β(methylnitrosamino)β1β(3βpyridyl)β1βbutanol (NNAL) and its glucuronides, termed total NNAL, have recently been shown to be good predictors of lung cancer risk, years before di
The induction of micronuclei was studied in human diploid fibroblasts incubated in the presence of the tobacco-specific nitrosamine NNK. We used four fibroblast strains having a high capacity of O6-alkylguanine D N A alkyltransferase (13.0-23.3 pmol O6-methylguanine repaired per 8 Γ 10 6 cells) and
## Abstract Native Hawaiian smokers are at higher risk and JapaneseβAmerican smokers at lower risk of lung cancer (LC), compared with white smokers, even after accounting for smoking history. Because variation in carcinogen exposure/metabolism may occur separately of smoking amount, we compared uri
## Abstract ## BACKGROUND In the United States, Blacks who smoke cigarettes have a higher mean blood concentration of the nicotine metabolite cotinine than White smokers. It has not been determined whether there are racial differences in the exposure to the cigarette smoke carcinogen 4β(methylnitr
