Abstract excerpt
1,3-Butadiene (BD) is carcinogenic in mice and rats, with mice being more susceptible than rats to its carcinogenic effects. 1,3-Butadiene is mutagenic in the bone marrow and spleen cells of B6C3F1 lacI transgenic mice. The goal of this research was to assess the roles of two BD metabolites, 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (BDO) and 1,2,3,4-diepoxybutane (BDO2), in the mutagenicity and mutational spectrum of the parent...
