## Abstract The Salmonella/microsome test and the chick embryo test were used to determine the mutagenicity and toxicity of five aflatoxin B~1~ precursors. A definite pattern emerges: the nearer to B~1~ an intermediate appears in the biosynthetic pathway, the more potent is its mutagenicity and tox

Children are generally more sensitive to toxicants than adults, including an increased sensitivity to genotoxic carcinogens. We previously demonstrated that neonatal mice are also more sensitive to the mutagenic effects of the direct alkylating agents N-ethyl-N-nitrosoamine and the arylamine 4-amino
The effects of aflatoxin B 1 (AFB 1 ) were studied using the HepG2 cell line. Cytotoxicity, apoptosis and p53 expression were assessed after exposure to different concentrations of AFB 1 (0-100 ΞΌM) and its two types of degradation products, namely the mixtures of photodegradation products in water (
