The radioactive glucose analogue 2-deoxy-2-[F]fluoro-D-glucose (FDG) is widely used to reconstruct glucose metabolism and other biological functions in cells and tissues. The analysis of data on the time course of FDG tracer distribution is performed by the use of appropriate compartmental models. Motivated by recent results in cell biochemistry, we describe a new compartmental model aiming at ...

In vivo mutagenicity and carcinogenicity studies are posing a high demand for testrelated resources. Among these studies, the micronucleus test in rodents is the most widely used, as follow up to positive in vitro mutagenicity results. A recent survey of the (Q)SAR models for mutagenicity and carcinogenicity has indicated that no (Q)SAR models for in vivo micronucleus are available in the publi...
