## Abstract We demonstrate in cell culture that mammary epithelial cells from normal human breast specimens metabolize benzo(a)pyrene (BaP) and form adducts with the bases of their DNA more readily and at lower concentrations of BaP than do fibroblasts from the same specimens. BaP metabolism and ad
## Abstract The extent of reaction of benzo(__a__)pyrene with DNA and the formation of benzo(__a__)pyreneβdeoxyribonucleoside adducts in the skins of male Wistar rats were investigated. Following topical application of benzo(__a__)pyrene (200 nmoles), binding reached a maximum of 0,74 pmoles/mg DNA
Formation of DNA adducts and of water-soluble metabolites was studied in monocytes of 86 first-degree relatives of I 5 families. Tests were performed with blood monocytes using (G-3H)-benzo[a]pyrene as a model pro-carcinogen. Variance analysis revealed significantly higher inter-familial than intra-
