Carcinogenesis, 2(12), 1345-1352 (1981-01-01)
In rat liver microsomal preparations, the 10,11-dihydrodiol of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DBA) is metabolized to r-10,t-11-dihydroxy-t-12,13-oxy-10,11,12,13-tetrahydrodibenz[a,c]anthracene (anti-DBA 10,11-diol 12,13-oxide), the anti isomer of a non-bay-region diol-epoxide of DBA. When 3H-labelled DBA or trans-10,11-dihydro-10,11-dihydroxydibenz[a,c]anthracene were metabolized in this system in the presence of

The mutagenic activities of dibenz[a,c]anthracene (DB[a,c]A), and its 11 derivatives, including 3 diols, 6 phenols and 2 oxepines, were studied in the TA100 strain of Salmonella typhimurium at doses varying from 0 to 20 micrograms/plate in the presence of a

Human placenta, umbilical cord blood, maternal blood and breast milk samples from mothers were analysed for the presence of selected polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Benzo(a) pyrene (B(a)P), dibenzo(a,c)anthracene (DBA) and chrysene (Chy) were detected in all the four types of
J R Bend
Ciba Foundation symposium, 76, 83-99 (1980-01-01)
The mechanisms by which administration of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) stimulates drug-metabolizing enzymes are summarized. The hepatic monooxygenase system of marine and freshwater fish is also induced by PAH-type compounds, including chlorinated dioxins and certain polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyl isomers
