Abstract excerpt
Previous studies in our laboratory identified trans,trans-muconaldehyde (MUC), a six-carbon diene dialdehyde, as a microsomal metabolite of benzene. This ring-opened metabolite of benzene was also shown to be hematotoxic in mice in a manner similar to benzene. To further explore the role of MUC in relation to benzene toxicity, a number of test systems were utilized to determine its genotoxic potential. In B6C3F1...
