Abstract excerpt
Phenobarbital (PHE) is a liver carcinogen in B6C3F1 mice and a weak mutagen that does not appear to form DNA adducts. To investigate PHE mutagenicity in vivo, B6C3F1 Big Blue(R) male transgenic mice harboring the lambdaLIZ shuttle vector containing the lacI target gene were fed PHE at 2500 ppm for 180 days. A modest increase in the mutant frequency (MF) from 5.02+/-2.4x10(-5) in the control group to...
