In order to discuss the biological mechanisms involved in the aetiology of genital tract malformations, testicular cancer and lowered sperm counts, some knowledge of the processes involved in the differentiation and development of the male reproductive tract and determination of normal testicular function is required. An early embryo has the potential to develop either a male or a female... 

The involvement of tobacco smoke carcinogens in the aetiology of lung cancer is conclusively established, but the role of specific chemical carcinogens as inducers of colorectal cancer is much less clear. Mutagenic pyrolysis products derived from cooked food have come under suspicion as possible...

These form a large, unrelated group of disorders which underlie a variety of human diseases. The immune system is often involved with inflammatory disorders, demonstrated in both allergic reactions and some myopathies. Non-immune diseases with aetiological origins in inflammatory processes are thought to include cancer, atherosclerosis (Chapter 5) and ischaemic heart disease.

Although other xenobiotic-metabolizing cytochrome P450 proteins may activate a very limited number of chemicals, and at relatively low rates when compared with the CYPl family, the latter is considered the most important in chemical carcinogenesis, and possibly also in the aetiology of human cancer, for the following reasons ...
