Summary

Nitrosating agents exposure occurs via multiple pathways. The N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) test is valuable for some, but not all, endogenous nitrosation pathways.

Main Results:

  • Endogenous nitrosation involves multiple routes including lung, stomach, macrophages, and bacteria.
  • The N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) test is a valuable but not universally applicable biomarker.
  • Variations of the NPRO test have been developed since 1981.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the various pathways of nitrosating agent exposure is crucial.
  • The N-nitrosoproline (NPRO) test provides insights but requires careful interpretation.
  • Further research is needed to refine methods for assessing endogenous nitrosation.
