Abstract excerpt
Age is an important factor in the evaluation of chemical toxicology. Chemical carcinogenic compounds can induce genomic mutations. However, few studies have been conducted on the association between genomic mutation frequency, such as microsatellite instability (MSI), and the age of mice treated with a nitrosourea mutagen. In the current work, we treated young (6 weeks) and old (10 months) mice with...
