| Abstract: | N-Nitrosodi-n-butylamine (NDBA), the NADPH generating system and various concentrations of butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) added to rat hepatic S9 fractions resulted in a significant drop (30-50%) in N-nitrosobutyl(4-hydroxybutyl)amine (NBHBA) formation and a consequent rise in the amount of substrate recovered unchanged. When NBHBA and NAD+ were incubated with BHA and S9 fractions, the amount of N-nitrosobutyl(3-carboxypropyl)amine (NBCPA) was decreased by 20-40%, and the amount of unmetabolized NBHBA increased. |
