Dietary protein and aflatoxin B₁ metabolism in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri)

Creator:

Stott, William T.

Abstract:

Dietary protein intake has been observed to influence the induction of cancer in animals exposed to carcinogens, presumably by affecting the activities of enzyme systems which metabolize them. One such carcinogen is aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁) a mold metabolite and frequent contaminant of foodstuffs. Variations in the levels of dietary proteins...

Diethylnitrosamine, ethylnitrosourea, and dimethylbenz(a)anthracene DNA binding studies in the rainbow trout

Creator:

Van Winkle, Samina

Abstract:

Dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (EMBA), a carcinogen that requires metabolic activation to produce active metabolites capable of binding to DNA, has been studied in the trout and other fish. Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) are of importance as they are ubiquitous in the environment and their carcinogenic effects in fish from contaminated...
