Lack of induction of micronuclei in human peripheral blood lymphocytes treated with hydroquinone.
Hydroquinone (HQ) has been reported to produce chromosomal effects in some in vivo and in vitro animal models. Its potential for inducing similar effects in human lymphocytes is less clear. The purpose of this study was to examine human lymphocytes treated with HQ for the presence of chromosomal anomalies, using an accepted assay for micronuclei. In addition, the stability of HQ in culture medi...
متن کاملInduction of DNA damage, apoptosis and micronuclei in peripheral blood lymphocytes following injection of contrast media in patients with abdominal CT scan
Background: Medical diagnostic procedures such as X-ray and computed Tomography (CT) scan account for considerable percent of patient's exposure to ionizing radiation. The exposure of cells to Ionization radiation results in induction of DNA damage and chromosomal aberrations. Contrast media (CM) are widely used in diagnostic radiology and CT scan. The aim of this study was to study adverse gen...
متن کاملIn vitro RABiT measurement of dose rate effects on radiation induction of micronuclei in human peripheral blood lymphocytes.
Developing new methods for radiation biodosimetry has been identified as a high-priority need in case of a radiological accident or nuclear terrorist attacks. A large-scale radiological incident would result in an immediate critical need to assess the radiation doses received by thousands of individuals. Casualties will be exposed to different doses and dose rates due to their geographical posi...
متن کاملInduction of Micronuclei and Erythrocytic Nuclear Abnormalities in Peripheral Blood of Fish Cyprinus carpio on Exposure to Karanjin
Background: We have come across the plant secondary metabolites having pesticidal properties being used in the form of pesticides. In this study, we used one of newly available and plant metabolite used as pesticide in wide agricultural fields – Karanjin, obtained from seeds of plant Pongamia pinnata. Methods: The study was conducted during the month of March 2016 at the Department of Zo...
متن کاملTwo benzene metabolites, catechol and hydroquinone, produce a synergistic induction of micronuclei and toxicity in cultured human lymphocytes.
A mixture of two benzene metabolites, hydroquinone and catechol, produces a striking synergistic genotoxic response in cultured human lymphocytes. This was demonstrated using an anti-kinetochore antibody modification of the micronucleus assay. Treatment with hydroquinone alone or in combination with phenol produced a 3-fold increase in micronucleated cells over background. Treatment with catech...
