Abstract excerpt
The capacity of ovarian granulosa cells from rat and pig to release reactive metabolites produced from polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons with the ability to cause mutations in neighbouring cells has been studied. For this purpose we have used cocultivation with V79 Chinese hamster cells as a detection system. The cells were treated with two different polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs),...
