Combining different assays and chemical analysis to characterize the genotoxicity of waters impacted by textile discharges
(2016-08-01)
Waters receiving textile discharges can exhibit genotoxic and mutagenic activity, which has been related to the presence of dyes and aromatic amines as synthesis precursors or byproducts. The aim of this study was to ...
Genotoxicity of cigarette smoking in maternal and newborn lymphocytes
(Elsevier B.V., 2014)
The comet assay in Ceraeochrysa claveri (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae): A suitable approach for detecting somatic and germ cell genotoxicity induced by agrochemicals
(2019-11-01)
Some agrochemicals are genotoxic to several organisms. Nevertheless, few protocols are currently available for measuring the toxicogenetic effects of these compounds in target and non-target field-collected species of ...
Assessment of genetic damage induced by dental bleaching agents on mouse lymphoma cells by single cell gel (comet) assay
(Blackwell Publishing, 2005-10-01)
Dental bleaching is a simple and conservative procedure for aesthetic restoration of vital discoloured teeth. However, dental bleaching agents may represent a hazard to human health, especially by causing DNA strand breaks. ...
High doses of alcohol during pregnancy cause DNA damages in osteoblasts of newborns rats
(2016-02-01)
Background: Alcohol exerts teratogenic effects and its consumption during pregnancy can cause deficit of bone development. The aim of the current study was to evaluate the genotoxic effects of prenatal exposure to ethanol ...

Cellular damages in the Allium cepa test system, caused by BTEX mixture prior and after biodegradation process
(2011-09-01)
Petroleum and derivatives have been considered one of the main environmental contaminants. Among petroleum derivatives, the volatile organic compounds benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) represent a major ...

Chronic ethanol consumption in mice does not induce DNA damage in somatic or germ cells, evaluated by the bone marrow micronucleous assay and the dominant lethal mutation assay
(2012)
Although alcohol is known to be a carcinogen for humans, ethanol-genotoxicity studies are incomplete. Ethanol seems not to be a bacterial mutagen, but the results are conflicting in rodent assays. We investigate the ...
