Popis: Effect of caloric restriction (CR) on metabolism of 7-fluorobenz-[a]anthracene (7-F-BA), 7-chlorobenz[a]anthracene (7-Cl-BA), 7-bromo-benz[a]anthracene (7-Br-BA), and 7-nitrobenz[a]anthracene (7-nitro-BA) by mouse liver microsomes was studied. The results indicate that CR can affect metabolism rate, modulate the regioselectivity and stereoselectivity of the cytochrome P-450 metabolizing enzymes, and lower the yield of the proximate mutagenic metabolites. These findings indicate that CR may in part modulate chemical carcinogenesis by altering the metabolic activation.
