Effect of the type of dietary fat on B(a)P metabolite types in plasma (A) and colon (B) of Apc^Min mice that received 50 μg B(a)P/kg bw via oral gavage. Inasmuch as there were no differences between 50 and 100 μg/kg B(a)P/kg bw in percentage composition of B(a)P metabolites, the 50 μg/kg B(a)P/kg bw was chosen as a representative of both 50 and 100 μg/kg B(a)P/kg bw. Similarly, there being no differences between colon and liver in the types of metabolites generated, only colon sample data are shown here as representative of colon and liver.
