XENOBIOTICS IN FOODS AND FEEDS

In this volume, we have focused on how xenobiotics are metabolized in higher animals and how this metabolism is mediated by the nutritional status of the target animal. Emphasis has been placed on the toxic, mutagenic, carcinogenic and potentially mutagenic or carcinogenic compounds. The topic is a natural follow-up and expansion of Xenobiotics in Foods and Feeds (ACS Symposium Series No. 234, Finley and Schwass, Eds.) in which sources of xenobiotics were identified and discussed at length. The authors in this volume discuss how and why these xenobiotics are toxic and how nutritional intervention can mediate some of the toxicities.
