title: Mutagenicity of 4-hydroxynonenal in V79 Chinese hamster cells.
abstract: 4-Hydroxynonenal (HNE), a major product of the peroxidation of liver microsomal lipids, was examined for mutagenic activity at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase locus in V79 Chinese hamster lung cells. At concentrations ranging from 10 to 45 microM, HNE induced a dose-dependent increase in the number of mutations to 6-thioguanine resistance, which reached the level of 4.7X baseline at the highest concentration tested.
