(CH3)2N–N@O, the carcinogenic
activity of which due to interaction with DNA is indisputable.
Besides, tissue metabolism of nitrosodimethylamine also
results in the formation of FA, leading to hypermethylation of histones
and genes’ promoters which may be one of additional triggers
for carcinogenesis via gene silencing (Belinsky, 2004;
Esteller, 2007).
