Is tetrachloroethylene genotoxic or not?
نویسنده
چکیده
A recent study published in Mutagenesis, in which the ability of tetrachloroethylene to induce DNA damage, detected by the alkaline comet assay, in mouse tissues (liver and kidney) was examined, has resulted in different interpretations of the data for liver as either positive or negative for genotoxicity. Here, I discuss the statistical approaches used and comment on the different conclusions reached.

This study evaluated the effectiveness of 3 solvents (Citrol orange oil, Eucalyptol and Tetrachloroethylene) and 2 associations of solvents (Citrol orange oil+Tetrachloroethylene and Eucalyptol+Tetrachloroethylene) on 3 types of gutta-percha (conventional, thermoplastic and EndoREZ) and Resilon. Ten discs (10 mm diameter x 1 mm thick) from each material were prepared using standard metallic mol...
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 کاملTetrachloroethylene Exposure and Bladder Cancer Risk: A Meta-Analysis of Dry-Cleaning-Worker Studies
BACKGROUND In 2012, the International Agency for Research on Cancer classified tetrachloroethylene, used in the production of chemicals and the primary solvent used in dry cleaning, as "probably carcinogenic to humans" based on limited evidence of an increased risk of bladder cancer in dry cleaners. OBJECTIVES We assessed the epidemiological evidence for the association between tetrachloroeth...
متن کاملEvaluation of genotoxic potential induced by marine cage culture
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The eutrophication process is increased by anthropogenic or aquaculture facilities in marine ecosystems. DNA damage biomarkers for fish species detect genotoxic parameters for ecological risk assessment. The aim of the present study was to determine genotoxic potential induced by marine cage culture in Iskenderun Bay on gilthead sea bream (Sparus ...
