The genotoxic activity o f four mycotoxins has been studied. A high level of somatic mutagenesis in imaginal disks of Drosophila melanogaster larvae and DNA repair synthesis in human embryo and adult rat liver cell cultures was induced only by the strong carcinogen aflatoxin B1. Patulin somewhat ele

## Abstract It was found that L cells deprived of exogenous fatty acids responded adaptively by increased synthesis of fatty acids. This adaptive increase was found to be sensitive to cycloheximide presented at the time of removal of exogenous lipids, but was not sensitive to cycloheximide added si
The former US. EPA OPPT tiered test scheme for heritable gene mutations included the Drosophila sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) test in which positive results triggered the mouse specific locus (MSL) test. However, review of available literature indicated that the evaluation of mutations in the g
