  • (20) 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.

Reproduction


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of reproducing; the state of being reproduced
  • (n.) the process by which plants and animals give rise to offspring.
  • (n.) That which is reproduced.
