title: Vinyl acetate: DNA-binding assay in vivo.
abstract: The question of carcinogenicity of vinyl acetate led us to perform a DNA binding assay in vivo in rats, using 14C-labelled vinyl acetate. After administration of [14C]vinyl acetate to male and female Fischer-344 rats, either orally or by inhalation, no specific hepatic DNA adducts, known to occur after administration of labelled vinyl halides or vinyl carbamates, could be detected in hepatic tissues.
