Nitrosamine Metabolism
Nitrosamine Metabolism involves important cellular biochemical detoxification reactions that chemically modify the N-nitroso derivatives of secondary amines, formed by the combination of nitrates with amines. Some nitrosamines show carcinogenic activity; under certain conditions, nitrite-containing foods can form nitrosamines. (NCI Thesaurus)
