Abstract excerpt
The mutagenic potential of acrolein has been studied with a wide range of in vitro and in vivo genetic toxicity assays. The data often have been conflicting, especially with the Ames assay. This study was undertaken to assess the mutagenic potential of acrolein using the CHO/HGPRT assay, both with and without metabolic activation. This assay system was chosen because it provides eukaryotic DNA as the target and...
