[Transformation of nitrates in the digestive tract of the rat]
Abstract
The in vitro transformation of nitrates in nitrites in the various parts of the gastro-intestinal tract has been analysed in the Rat. Results show that nitrites can be found at the different levels of the alimentary tract, especially in the stomach and small intestine. This nitrite production is discussed with regard to the possible formation of nitrosamines in mammals.
