摘要
It is becoming increasingly apparent that toxicant-induced changes in epigenetic status, particularly DNA methylation patterns, may play a role in some mechanisms of toxicity. Here, we discuss briefly the evidence that alterations in DNA methylation accompany, and may even promote, carcinogenesis induced by non-genotoxic chemicals. We also address recent findings indicating that the availability of dietary methyl donors can modulate DNA methylation levels and precipitate adverse effects. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
