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

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

Staphylococcus carnosus strain 833, inoculated into sausage, increased the levels of methyl ketones which contributed to the cured aroma. These ketones were predicted to arise from incomplete beta-oxidation followed by a decarboxylation. To check this hypothesis, we measured the beta-decarboxylase

Lung cancer is a leading cause of deaths in cancer. Hence, developing early-stage diagnostic tests that are non-invasive, highly sensitive, and specific is crucial. In this study, we investigated to determine whether biomarkers derived from urinary volatile organic compounds (VOCs)

Methyl ketones are detected in dry fermented sausages in which they contribute to the cured aroma. They have been associated with the inoculation of Staphylococcus carnosus used as starter culture. To evaluate the ability of bacterial starters to produce methyl
