Tumorigenicity of cyclopenta[a]phenanthrene derivatives and micronucleus induction in mouse skin.

abstract：:Mammalian DNA contains bulky endogenous DNA modifications (I-compounds), which increase with age in unexposed animals, as shown by 32P-postlabeling. We have examined the perinatal formation of a subclass (type II) of I-compounds in rat liver, kidney, skin and lung. These I-compounds represent bulky oxidative DNA lesio...
