Micronucleus assays in rodent tissues other than bone marrow.
This report updates previous reviews that were conducted as part of the third and fourth International Workshops on Genetic Toxicology Testing of micronucleus (MN) assays in rodent tissues other than bone marrow. Tissues discussed here are liver, lung, skin, colon, spleen, testes and foetal/neonatal tissues with transplacental exposure. Previous reviews have been updated to include literature p...
متن کاملStatistical analysis of data in mutagenicity assays: rodent micronucleus assay.
To evaluate chemical safety, many kinds of short-term mutagenicity assays are performed together with long-term assays in animals. Rationales and methodology for these assays have been well discussed and documented. No statistical method, however, has been singled out as the method of choice for the evaluation of mutagenicity assay data, although a number of reports on statistical methods to ev...
متن کاملThe Role of Bone Marrow Aspiration and Bone Marrow Biopsy in Diagnosis of Bone Marrow Metastases
Background: Bone marrow is the site of many malignant disorders and it is one of the common places for solid tumors to metastasize. Examination of the bone marrow aspirate and biopsy is a routine procedure performed for assessment of various conditions such as cytopenias, hematologic neoplasms, nonmalignant disorders and metastatic neoplasms. Methods: The patients were referred to the Hema...
متن کاملGenotoxic and Antigenotoxic Activity of Silymarin by an In Vivo Bone Marrow Micronucleus Assay and Comet Assay
Introduction: Silymarin is obtained from Silybum marianum (milk thistle), an edible plant that has long been used medicinally for the treatment of liver-related disorders. Silymarin is a powerful hepatoprotective and antioxidant but the anticlastogenic activity, which is an important aspect of its cancer chemoprevention is not known hence the present investigation was carried out to study its...
متن کاملUse of nasal cells in micronucleus assays and other genotoxicity studies.
Genotoxicity experiments with exfoliated nasal mucosa cells are a promising minimally invasive approach for the detection of DNA-damaging compounds in ambient air. Results of single cell gel electrophoresis (SCGE) assays with individual cells and organ cultures from bioptic material show that DNA damage caused by compounds such as nitrosamines, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and pesticides ca...
