Abstract excerpt
We examined the effects of nickel sulfate at doses 0.5 to 5.0 mg/kg (LD50) on the frequency of dominant lethal mutations and two-strand DNA breaks (TSBs) in germline cells and on an increase in frequency in gene mutations W(y) in pigment cells of first-generation mice. The results indicated that spermatogenesis stages most sensitive to nickel sulfate (at a dose of 1.0 mg/kg) are spermatozoids, early spermatids,...
