Dinitropyrenes are mutagenic and carcinogenic environmental pollutants commonly found in diesel exhaust and airborne particulates. In the present study, the ability of rabbit lung to metabolize 1,8-dinitro[4,5,9,10-3H]pyrene by both oxygen-dependent and oxygen-independent pathways has been investigated. Using lung 9000 g

The disposal of massive quantities of synthetic materials has become a very serious environmental problem around the world. When synthetic polymers are burnt or smolder in air, the combustion products are extremely complex, often consisting of several hundred compounds. In

The effect of highly purified rat liver cytosolic NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase [EC 1.6.99.2] on the mutagenicity of 1,3- 1,6- and 1,8-dinitropyrene (DNP) was studied in the Ames Salmonella typhimurium mutagenicity assay. NAD(P)H-quinone oxidoreductase over the range of 0.02-0.8 micrograms/plate (38-1500) units

The effects of chronic ethanol feeding of rats on the ability of liver fractions to modulate the bacterial mutagenicity of three dinitropyrene isomers (1,3-, 1,6- and 1,8-DNP), which require bacterial enzymes but not an exogenous enzyme source for activation, were

Formation of DNA adducts, following treatment of primary rabbit tracheal epithelial cells (RTEC) with 1,8-dinitropyrene (1,8-DNP) and its partially reduced derivative, 1-nitro-8-nitrosopyrene (1,8-NONO2), was examined using the 32P-post-labelling technique. Treatment of aerobic cells with 1,8-DNP or 1,8-NONO2 produced qualitatively similar
