  • (15) The presence of an inverse correlation between certain tryptophan metabolites, shown previously to be bladder carcinogens, and the N-nitrosamine content, especially after loading, was interpreted in view of the possible conversion of some tryptophan metabolites into N-nitrosamines either under endovesical conditions or during the execution of the colorimetric determination of these compounds.
  • (16) The data suggest that proinsulin, normally processed in secretory granules and released via the regulated pathway, may also be processed, albeit less efficiently, by the constitutive pathway conversion machinery.
  • (17) The extensive conversion of anti-BPDE to B[a]PT-10-sulfonate under conditions where sulfite enhances diolepoxide mutagenicity, when coupled with this enhancement of diolepoxide mutagenicity by B[a]PT-10-sulfonate in the reverse mutation assay, supports this novel B[a]P derivative as a mediator of the sulfite-dependent enhancement of B[a]P genotoxicity.
  • (18) Zona pellucida solubility, plasminogen activator production, and plasminogen conversion to plasmin increased as embryonic stage advanced; however, plasminogen activator production and plasmin conversion to plasmin were poorly correlated with zona pellucida solubility.
