Abstract excerpt
The chelating agent nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA), classified as an epigenetic rodent carcinogen, was assessed in the in vivo rodent Comet assay on isolated kidney cells. Unexpected potent increases in DNA damage were obtained in both the short (3-6 hr) and long-term (22-26 hr) expression times after a single oral treatment at 1,000-2,000 mg/kg bw. NTA was assayed in the Ames test using TA1537, TA98, TA100, and...
