  • Title: Non-volatile N-nitroso compounds in human feces.
    Author: Varghese AJ, Land PC, Furrer R, Bruce WR.
    Journal: IARC Sci Publ (1971); 1978; (19):257-64. PubMed ID: 680728.
    Abstract:
    A bacterial mutagen has been detected in ether extracts of freeze-dried feces of humans on Western diet. Several types of evidence suggest that nitroso compounds are present in human feces and the mutagen could be a nitroso compound. Ascorbic acid supplement in the diet reduces the levels of both the mutagens and nitroso compounds in the feces.
