Abstract excerpt
Hydroquinone is a myelotoxin that is found in many foods and is also formed through the metabolism of benzene. Human exposure to benzene is associated with the development of myelodysplastic syndrome and acute myelogenous leukemia. Hydroquinone is genotoxic in several in vitro and in vivo test systems, inducing micronuclei (MN), sister-chromatid exchange (SCE), and chromosomal aberrations. Glutathione...
