In rodent models as well as in fish models there are significant
species differences in the susceptibility toward aflatoxin B₁ (AFB₁)
carcinogenesis. Mouse is less susceptible toward AFB₁ carcinogenesis
than rat. Researchers have come to the conclusion that the lower
susceptibility of mice is not a result of less effective...
Sulfite mutants representing five complementation groups, previously derived from
an ethyl methanesulfonate-treated haploid strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae were studied.
Although the wildtype S. cerevisiae strain used (isogenic to X2180-1 A) had a basal
tolerance for sulfite (7 μM free H₂SO₃), the sensitive and resistant mutants were found to
tolerate less...
