[Urinary steroid profiling in postmenopausal women (preliminary notes)].

Urinary steroid profiling by means of Capillary gas chromatography in postmenopausal women was detected. Glass capillary columns, OV-1, were used. Our results show that there is a rise of extraction of etiocholanolone (ET) in case of postmenopausal women in compare with androsterone (AN). The ratio ET/AN confirms the above results.

Inhibitory effect of the antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole on the activation of the carcinogen benzo(a)pyrene.

The effect of the antioxidant butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) on benzo(a)pyrene (BP) metabolites binding to DNA, percentage of diols and phenols in the total amount of BP metabolites extracted to organic solvent, were studied in : incubation mixture of rat liver microsomes, cultured mouse embryo cells, human skin, and human lymphocytes. The amount of BP metabolites bound to DNA in mouse embryo cells and human skin decreased in the presence of BHA. No effect was found in human lymphocytes. Percent of phenols increased in mouse embryo cell cultures; percent of diols decreased in cultures of human skin and lymphocytes.
