Alteration of Mutagenic Potentials by Peroxidase, Catalase, and Superoxide Dismutase

  • Chapter
Antimutagenesis and Anticarcinogenesis Mechanisms

Part of the book series: Basic Life Sciences ((BLSC,volume 39))

Abstract

In studies of the mutagens/carcinogens in foods using Ames’ Salmonella test, we found that peroxidase, catalase, and superoxide dismutase (SOD) affected the mutagenic potentials of the compounds present in various kinds of ordinary foods.
