Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to determine if Hprt mutant frequency (Mf) data from rodents exposed directly to individual epoxy metabolites of 1,3-butadiene (BD) can be used to identify the relative significance of each intermediate in the mutagenicity of BD in mice vs. rats. To this end, the relative contributions of the racemic mixtures of BD monoepoxide (BDO) and BD diepoxide (BDO(2)) to BD-induced...
