Abstract:INTRODUCTION
4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol (NNAL), a metabolite of tobacco-specific nitrosamine (TSNA) 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK), is a tobacco-specific carcinogen. Spirometry values (FEV1%, PEF%, etc.) are commonly used as clinical indicators to assess the condition of lung function and the results can be used to diagnose respiratory diseases. However, the relationship between urinary NNAL levels and lung function is unclear.
