Many phytochemicals found in the diet may prevent colon carcinogenesis by affecting biochemical processes in the colonic mucosa. Inflammation and subsequent elevation of the enzyme cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) are two such factors involved in the development of colon cancer, and inhibition

The effect of trans-1,2-dichloroethylene (DCE), an inhibitor of cytochrome P450 (P450) 2E1 (CYP2E1), on the composition and quantity of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) expired in the breath of male F-344 rats was determined in parallel with hepatic P450 activity and
In sausage, Staphylococcus carnosus increases the levels of methyl ketones which could arise from incomplete beta-oxidation of fatty acids followed by a decarboxylation. The objective of this work was to characterize the beta-decarboxylase activities in cell-free extract. By using different

The presence of background odour was found to have a small but significant effect on the sensitivity of the antennal olfactory system of houseflies, Musca domestica Linnaeus (Diptera: Muscidae), to new pulses of odour. We show that cross-adaptation and cross-sensitization
