abstract：:Dog urinary bladder is a target organ of carcinogenic arylamines. However, dog hepatic and urothelial cytosols lack acetylation enzymes that are capable of activating N-hydroxy metabolites of arylamines, suggesting that other enzymes may be involved. In the present study, we found that dog liver microsomes were capabl...
