Abstract excerpt
The induction of DNA damage on 1.5- and 24-h cultured hepatocytes was tested after a 3-h exposure to 5 and 50 microM mono-, di-, and trinitrochlorobenzene (100-00-5; 97-00-7; 88-88-0). DNA-repair synthesis, elicited by nitrochlorobenzene treatment, was also estimated 24 and 48 h after the withdrawal of the nitro-aryl halides. DNA damage and repair were evaluated by determining the DNA elution rate in alkali. A...
