Abstract excerpt
The recent finding that acrylamide (AA), a potent carcinogen, is formed in foods during cooking raises human health concerns. In the present study, we investigated the genotoxicity of AA and its metabolite glycidamide (GA) in human lymphoblastoid TK6 cells examining three endpoints: DNA damage (comet assay), clastogenesis (micronucleus test) and gene mutation (thymidine kinase (TK) assay). In a 4 h treatment...
