title: Lack of clastogenic effects of irradiated glucose in somatic and germ cells of mice.
abstract: The clastogenic ability of irradiated glucose was evaluated using the micronucleus test in bone marrow cells and the chromosomal aberration assay in the spermatogonial cells of mice. Glucose was irradiated with 0.2, 2.0, 20 and 50 kGy of gamma-rays and administered to mice for various periods. No evidence of mutagenic effects was observed in somatic or germ cells.
