This model system, however, has been a subject for debate due to the differences in the detoxification mechanisms between rats and humans as shown by cytosolic conjugation of AFB1 in vitro (Raney et al., 1992). In contrast to rats, mice are generally resistant to the hepatocarcinogenic effects of AFB1. This may explain the high level of glutathione-S-transferase
