Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-3,8-dimethylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoxaline (MeIQx), a heterocyclic amine found in cooked meat, is a strong mutagen in the Salmonella/microsome assay and was proven to be a hepatocarcinogen in rodents. We used the lacI transgenic (Big Blue(R)) mouse to investigate MeIQx genotoxicity in vivo. lacI mutant frequencies were examined in liver and colon after single intragastric administration of MeIQx (males) or 12...
