Dietary factors appear to be involved in the high incidence of prostate cancer in "Westernized" countries, implicating dietary carcinogens such as heterocyclic amines (HAs) in the initiation of prostate carcinogenesis. We examined 24 human prostate samples with respect to their potential for activat

## Abstract In this study, we found that rat nasal coumarinβ7βhydroxylase (a) activity was two orders of magnitude higher than rat hepatic COH activity and could be induced by adding coumarin to the rats' drinking water. In western blot analysis, an antiβcytochrome P450 (a) 2aβ5 (mouse liver COH) a
Cytochrome P-450 2E1 is a specific isozyme of cytochrome P-450 induced by ethanol. P-450 2E1 may also be the only enzyme that metabolizes N-nitrosodimethylamine at a very low concentration. Because N-nitrosodimethylamine is a procarcinogen, the possibility that induction of P-450 2El by alcohol abus
