Abstract excerpt
Mice that harbored the x-ray-induced low efficiency allele of the major X-linked isozyme of glucose-6-phospate dehydrogenase (G6PD), Gpdx(a-m2Neu), and, in addition, harbored the transgenic shuttle vector for the determination of mutagenesis in vivo, pUR288, were employed to further our understanding of the interdependence of general metabolism, oxidative stress control, and somatic mutagenesis. The Gpdx(a-m2Neu)...
