A modified fluorometric procedure for the determination of basal aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase activity in human hair follicles is described. The method is also applicable for measurement of induction of the enzyme in primary cultures of keratinocytes originating from hair follicles. For good sensiti

The skin epithelium and its organelles use glycogen as well as glucose as source of energy. Therefore the characterisation of glycogen metabolism and the enzymes involved is important in the study of mechanisms regulating the normal or abnormal differentiation of skin organelles such as sebaceous gl
Benzo(a)pyrene (BP)-metabolism in freshly isolated human hair follicles, cultured hair follicle keratinocytes and cells cultured from human bronchial epithelium was analysed by high performance liquid chromatography. All three types of tissues resulted in quantitatively comparable amounts of the mos
## Abstract Metabolism of the carcinogenic hydrocarbon benzo(a)pyrene (BP) to water and alkaliβsoluble products was measured in cultured fibroblast and epithelial cells from human embryos. The alkaliβsoluble products represented only a small fraction of BP metabolism. Fibroblasts from different org
