Description:
Studies of nitrate balance in humans and analyses of fecal and ileostomy samples indicate that nitrite and nitrate are formed de novo in the intestine, possibly by heterotrophic nitrification. These findings significantly alter our previous conceptions of human exposure to nitrite and suggest an even wider role for nitrite in the etiology of human cancer.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Tannenbaum, S R -- Fett, D -- Young, V R -- Land, P D -- Bruce, W R -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Jun 30;200(4349):1487-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/663630" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
