Abstract excerpt
Acrylamide (AA) is generated by thermal processing of foods, depending on processing conditions and precursor availability. AA is not genotoxic by itself but becomes activated to its genotoxic metabolite glycidamide (GA) via epoxidation, mediated primarily by cytochrome P450 2E1. In the Comet assay in V79 cells and in human lymphocytes, GA induced DNA damage down to 300 microM concentration (4 h). After...
