Abstract excerpt
The unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) assay measures DNA repair in response to DNA damage. To date, 59 chemicals plus UV and X rays have been tested for UDS in spermatogenic cells of humans, rabbits, rats, and mice. In vivo, in vitro, and combined in vivo/in vitro procedures have been used. UDS has been shown to occur in spermatogonia, meiotic spermatocytes, and early spermatid stages. Fifty-nine percent of the...
