Effects of unsaturated fatty acids on metabolism of benzo[a]pyrene in an NADPH-fortified rat liver microsomal system.

abstract：:Thymidine kinase (TK), the enzyme in the pyrimidine salvage pathway, and its isozymes were examined in 15 specimens of normal mucosa, 14 polyps and 14 carcinomas in human colon. The average TK activities in colon polyps and carcinomas were about 1.6 and 2.9 times that in normal colon mucosa, respectively. The colon TK...
