Mechanistic Basis for Inflammation and Tumor Promotion in Lungs of 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol-Treated Mice:  Electrophilic Metabolites Alkylate and Inactivate Antioxidant Enzymes

An established model for mechanistic analysis of lung carcinogenesis involves administration of 3-methylcholanthrene to mice followed by several weekly injections of the tumor promoter 2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol (BHT). BHT is metabolized to quinone methides (QMs) responsible for promoting tumo...
