Nitrosamine Metabolism

Term · Environment · MLC-T-ENV-018679

Nitrosamine Metabolism involves important cellular biochemical detoxification reactions that chemically modify the N-nitroso derivatives of secondary amines, formed by the combination of nitrates with amines. Some nitrosamines show carcinogenic activity; under certain conditions, nitrite-containing foods can form nitrosamines.
