Research Abstract |
Molecular biomarkers which show effective exposure dose of environmental carcinogens are expected to be used in environmental epidemiological studies. However, the validity of their use is still-unclear. We examined analytical methods of albumin adduct and conducted a cross sectional study of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon exposure and molecular biomarkers including DNA adducts and albumin adduct in cake oven workers. (1) We examined some previous methods for detection of albumin adduct using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. We could detect benzo (a) pyrene diol-epoxide-albumin adduct in smoker and cake oven workers. Good correlation between the adduct and internal exposure dose was observed. The data also suggested necessary amount of samples for the analysis. (2) In cake oven workers, we examined DNA adducts and genetic polymorphism of some metabolizing enzymes. The results suggested that we should consider genetic polymorphism of metabolizing enzymes in evaluation of DNA adduct levels.
