IPCS guidelines for the monitoring of genotoxic effects of carcinogens in humans. International Programme on Chemical Safety.
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide concise guidance on the planning, performing and interpretation of studies to monitor groups or individuals exposed to genotoxic agents. Most human carcinogens are genotoxic but not all genotoxic agents have been shown to be carcinogenic in humans. Although the main interest in these studies is due to the association of genotoxicity with carcinogeni...
متن کاملEvaluation of phytotoxicity and genotoxicity of uranyl nitrate in Allium assay system.
Uranyl nitrate inhibited root growth of Allium cepa at > or = 25 microM concentration. Fluorimetric analysis of metal uptake indicated the entry and accumulation of uranium into the root cell. Uranyl nitrate was neither clastogenic nor aneugenic as it failed to induce micronuclei significantly, but between 25 and 100 microM concentration, it increased significantly the frequency of sister chrom...
متن کاملSister chromatid exchange analysis in some Holstein bulls
Chromosomal appearance of 12 Holstein bulls selected for artificial inseminations were examined bysister chromatid exchanges (SCEs). For differential staining of sister chromatids bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU)was inoculated in lymphocyte cultures. The mean, maximum and minimum number of SCE per cell weredetermined 6.8 ± 1.14, 8.3 ± 1.1 and 5.7 ± 1.5, respectively. SCE frequencies of all animals were...
متن کاملCytotoxicity and Genotoxicity of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles: an in Vitro Biosafety Study
With the development of nanotechnology and the wide use of iron oxide nanoparticles, it has become necessary to assess the potential adverse biological effects of magnetite. This study investigated the cytotoxicity, genotoxicity and oxidative damage of different concentrations of magnetite (0 to 1000 mg/L) in human whole blood cultures. After supplementation of magnetite, the blood samples were...
متن کاملGenotoxicity of 1,4-benzoquinone and 1,4-naphthoquinone in relation to effects on glutathione and NAD(P)H levels in V79 cells.
1,4-Benzoquinone is cytotoxic in V79 Chinese hamster cells and induces gene mutations and micronuclei. The cell-damaging effects of quinones are usually attributed to thiol depletion, oxidation of NAD(P)H, and redox-cycling involving the formation of semiquinone radicals and reactive oxygen species. To elucidate the role of these mechanisms in the genotoxicity of 1,4-benzoquinone, we measured v...
