Exposure of active and passive smokers to aromatic amines present in tobacco smoke.

Only registered users can translate articles

Aromatic amines, toxic agents causing methemoglobinemia and human carcinogens (2-naphtylamine, 2-toluidine), are present in mainstream (MS) and sidestream (SS) tobacco smoke. Because of this fact, active and passive smokers are exposed to them. The aim of this study was to assess exposure of active

Brain iron accumulation in unexplained fetal and infant death victims with smoker mothers--the possible involvement of maternal methemoglobinemia.

On the other hand, the inhalation of tobacco smoke can substantially raise the level of carboxyhemoglobin in the blood.

Methemoglobin Formation and Characterization of Hemoglobin Adducts of Carcinogenic Aromatic Amines and Heterocyclic Aromatic Amines.

Only registered users can translate articles

Arylamines (AAs) and heterocyclic aromatic amines (HAAs) are structurally related carcinogens formed during the combustion of tobacco or cooking of meat. They undergo cytochrome P450 mediated N-hydroxylation to form metabolites which bind to DNA and lead to mutations. The N-hydroxylated metabolites
