Intestinal microflora enhances formation of DNA adducts following administration of 2-NF and 2-AAF

2-Nitrofluorene (NF) is found in the environment mainly due to incomplete combustion, as in vehicles. The major class of metabolites in vivo in rats after oral administration is the reduced and acetylated metabolites, e.g. derivatives of 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF). The intestinal microflora reduces...
