Abstract:
The formation of micronuclei (MN) is a widely used and accepted endpoint of genotoxicity testing. This assay provides a simple and direct measure of the induction of structural or numerical aberrations to chromosomes. In this study we describe about acrylamide treated rats and chick eggs with different doses like 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3mgs to eggs and 16, 32, 48 mgs to rats for 24,48 and 72hrs, for the detection of micronucleus formation in reticulocytes.
