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
Chinese hamster V79 fibroblasts, frequently used as target cells in short-term tests for mutagenicity, do not possess measurable monooxygenase activity; in particular, enzymatic oxidation of testosterone (T) cannot be demonstrated. If these V79 cells, however, had been transfected with the cDNAencod
