Fasting rats were given L-proline and sodium nitrite by stomach tube. N-Nitroso-L-proline was found in the stomach contents after 15 min; the amounts were related to the quantity of reactants administered. The results show that nitrosamines can be formed in the stomach of rats under the experimental conditions described here.
