[Study on influence of cigarette smoking on the mutagenicity of urine. II. Animal experimental model of passive smoking].

Abstract excerpt

We developed a convenient animal experimental model to study the effects of passive smoking on urinary mutagenicity. Rats were individually placed into metabolic cages, and were exposed to a side-stream of cigarette smoke under specific conditions. Then 24-hour urine collections were performed. Mutagenicity was investigated by the Ames test using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. In strain TA98,...
