Type II epithelial cells, which line the alveolar surface of the lung, are exposed to a variety of potentially mutagenic and carcinogenic insults. The purpose of this study was to determine if type II cells are susceptible to oxidative DNA damage in vitro. Treatment of cultured rat type II lung epit

## Abstract Acrylonitrile (ACN) is a volatile, toxic liquid used as a monomer in the manufacture of synthetic rubber, styrene plastics, acrylic fiber, and adhesives. ACN is a potent neurotoxin. A role for free radical mediated lipid peroxidation in the toxicity of ACN has been suggested. We examine
The nephrotoxic/carcinogenic mycotoxin ochratoxin A (OTA) occurs as a contaminant in food and feed and may be linked to human endemic Balkan nephropathy. The mechanism of OTA-derived carcinogenicity is still under debate, since reactive metabolites of OTA and DNA adducts have not been unambiguously
Oxidative stress in cultured astrocytes exerted by 30-min treatment with 50-200 ยตM H 2 O 2 caused timeand concentration-dependent effects on cellular metabolism. These changes were accompanied by alterations in cellular morphology. Using 31 P nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, the data d
