## Abstract Cytochrome __b__~5~, a 17‐kDa hemeprotein associated primarily with the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotic cells, has long been known to augment some cytochrome P450 monooxygenase reactions, but the mechanism of stimulation has remained controversial. Studies in recent years have clari

The flavonol kaempferol is widely found in the diet and is directly mutagenic in some short-term tests, such as the induction of chromosomal aberrations in eukaryotic cells. The presence of exogenous metabolizing systems enhances its mutagenicity. We have evaluated the role of cytochromes P450 in th
Rat colon mucosa microsomes contain a competent mixed function oxidase system that hydroxylates the N-methyl drugs benzphetamine and ethylmorphine, the 0-alkyl drugs p-nitroanisole and p-nitrophenetole and the polycyclic carcinogen benzo[a]pyrene. The colon system's hydroxylation activities can be s
The two CHCl3 activation pathways have been studied in incubations at different oxygenation conditions with hepatic microsomes from control Sprague Dawley (SD) rats or SD rats treated with different cytochrome P450 inducers (acetone, phenobarbital, pyrazole, dexamethasone, and beta-naphthoflavone).
## Abstract Metabolites of the human carcinogen 4‐aminobiphenyl (4‐ABP) form hemoglobin (Hb) adducts, which represent a useful biomarker for exposure. However, not every individual responds to a similar degree to 4‐ABP exposure, and variations in 4‐ABP‐Hb adduct formation might be explained by gene
