Metabolism of carcinogenic pyrrolizidine alkaloids and pyrrolizidine alkaloid N-oxides by rat primary hepatocytes generate the same characteristic DHP-DNA adducts

We recently established a genotoxic mechanism mediated by a set of (±)-6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP)-DNA adducts, which lead to pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA)-induced live...
