title: In vitro metabolism of aflatoxin Q1 by rat liver post-mitochondrial homogenates.
abstract: An investigation of the in vitro biotransformation of aflatoxin Q1 by the post-mitochondrial fraction of rat liver is reported. These studies showed a 10 to 25 percent turnover of aflatoxin Q1, with the subsequent formation of five metabolites. A major metabolite was determined to be the beta-D-glucuronide of aflatoxin Q1.
