Abstract excerpt
The influence of glutathione S-transferase T1 (GSTT1) genotype on the genotoxicity of 1,2-epoxy-3-butene (MEB), a metabolite of 1,3-butadiene, was assessed by the analysis of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in 72-h human whole-blood lymphocyte cultures. The cultures were from 18 donors, representing both GSTT1 'positive' genotype (with at least one undeleted GSTT1 allele; GSTT1 activity present) and GSTT1...
