Food Borne Carcinogens Heterocyclic Amines (Current Toxicology) Book

Food Borne Carcinogens provides a comprehensive review of the genotoxic and carcinogenic activities of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) found in cooked foods. This unique and timely publication describes the latest research and offers an insight into new developments. Key topics covered include:Combination effects of HCAs in carcinogenesisGenetic alterations in animal tumours induced by HCAsAdduct levels yielded in humans by ordinary exposure levelsGenetic polymorphisms in HCA metabolic enzymes and suspected individual differences in susceptibility to HCA carcinogenesisWritten by world-renowned experts in the field, this book will be essential reading for toxicologists and cancer researchers working within industry, academia and government, particularly, food scientists, genetic toxicologists, biochemists, nutritionists and those investigating risk evaluation of HCAs and the regulation of environmental carcinogens. It will also be of interest to other scientists involved in the identification of naturally occurring antimutagens and anticarcinogens.Read More
