Abstract excerpt
This study's primary aim is to examine if prooxidant treatment has the propensity to induce dominant lethal (DL) type mutations in a randomly bred closed colony of CFT-Swiss mice. Initially, graded doses of both organic hydroperoxides viz., t-butyl hydroperoxide (tbHP), and cumene hydroperoxide (cHP) were administered (i.p.) to adult males and the mortality data was analysed to determine the LD(50) values. cHP...
