Medium-term bioassays for carcinogenicity of chemical mixtures.
Carcinogenic effects of chemical mixtures were examined with a medium-term liver bioassay for carcinogens or a multiorgan medium-term bioassay using male F344 rats. In the medium-term liver bioassay, rats were initially treated with diethylnitrosamine (DEN) at 200 mg/kg body weight, i.p.; after 2 weeks they received chemical mixtures such as 10 different heterocyclic amines at one-tenth or one-...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays.
In this paper we describe a simulation, by Monte Carlo methods, of the results of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays. Our aim is to study how the observed correlation between carcinogenic potency (beta or 1n2/TD50) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) arises, and whether the existence of this correlation leads to an artificial correlation between carcinogenic potencies in rats and mice. The validity ...
متن کاملCloze-Elide Test as an Alternative Test Method: Linking Personality Types to Test Method Performance
More innovative test methods may measure language learners’ test performance more accurately, contributing to much fairer decisions. This study examined Iranian language learners’ performance on cloze-elide test as an innovative, integrative test method. It specifically focused on investigating whether personality types correlated with their performance and whether personality types could predi...
متن کاملEvaluation of the mutagenicity and carcinogenicity of motor vehicle emissions in short-term bioassays.
Incomplete combustion of fuel in motor vehicles results in the emission of submicron carbonaceous particles which, after cooling and dilution, contain varying quantities of extractable organic constituents. These organics are mutagenic in bacteria. Confirmatory bioassays in mammalian cells provide the capability of detecting chromosomal and DNA damage in addition to gene mutations. In order to ...
متن کاملIn vivo covalent binding of chemicals to DNA as a short-term test for carcinogenicity.
The determination of a covalent binding of radioactive chemicals to DNA in intact mammalian organisms is proposed as a short-term test for carcinogenicity. The effectiveness of covalent binding to rat liver DNA correlates well with the hepatocarcinogenicity known from long-term bioassays. The binding indices range over more than five orders of magnitude between the strongest hepatocarcinogen af...
