Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic potential of furfural was evaluated by means of the chromosome loss test in germ cells and the wing spot test in somatic cells of Drosophila melanogaster. The chromosome loss test was carried out employing repair-proficient as well as repair-deficient females. Males carried the compound Y chromosome, BSYy+. Two routes of administration were used: injection and feeding of adult males. Genetic damage...
