Carcinogenic, teratogenic, and mutagenic effects of arsenic.
This review outlines briefly the history and present status of the problem of carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic effects of arsenic. Discrepancies between clinical observations and positive results of epidemiological studies and the experimental induction of cancer by arsenic are discussed. The present knowledge of the mechanism of teratogenic and mutagenic effects of arsenic is analyzed. ...
متن کاملThresholds in toxic, teratogenic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic effects.
Many inhibitory and toxic effects show a dose dependence for which the extrapolation of a linear plot to zero or background effect cuts through the abscissa at some positive dose, indicating a threshold concentration below which the agent seems to be ineffective (1). If the teratogenic effect of such an agent is caused by the same cellular reaction, its dose-effect curve may also exhibit a thre...
متن کاملMutagenic, Carcinogenic and Teratogenic Effects of Pollutants in Respect to Man
Although a number of chemicals that occur, or have occurred, in industry have been demonstrated to have carcinogenic activity in man, demonstrations of teratogenic, and especially of mutagenic, activities on man within industrial compounds are rarer or non-existent. Demonstrations in the laboratory of teratogenic and mutagenic activities by industrial chemicals do raise properly the question wh...
متن کاملGenetic, carcinogenic and teratogenic effects of radiofrequency fields.
This paper reviews the literature data on the genetic toxicology of radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Whereas in the past most studies were devoted to microwave ovens and radar equipment, it is now mobile telecommunication that attracts most attention. Therefore we focus on mobile telephone frequencies where possible. According to a great majority of the papers, radiofrequency fields, and mobile t...
متن کاملMutagenic/carcinogenic potential of DEHP and MEHP.
The mutagenic/carcinogenic activities of DEHP and MEHP were studied in bacteria and mammalian cells. MEHP but not DEHP exerted a dose-dependent DNA damaging effect to B. subtilis in Rec-assay. DEHP and MEHP showed mutagenic activities to S. typhimurium TA-100, with and without S-9 mix, respectively. MEHP produced not only the mutation in E. coli WP2B/r but also sister chromatid exchanges (SCE) ...
