Meiotic chromosomes of spermatocytes from INH-treated male mice and Chinese hamsters were analysed for chromosome aberrations in diakinesis-metaphase I and metaphase II. The experiments were performed in two laboratories while a third laboratory participated in the chromosome evaluation. No enhancem

✦ Synopsis
Acute and chronic treatment of Chinese hamsters and mice with 5, 25 and 125 mg/kg isoniazid (INH) given by oral intubation did not enhance the chromosomal aberration frequencies in spermatogonia. The structural and numerical aberration rates remained in the range of spontaneous events even after the chronic treatment over 12 weeks with 3 x 125 mg/kg INH per week. This dose is much higher than normally used for prevention and therapy in man (3--16 mg/kg).

The sequence of centromere separation in spermatogonial chromosomes of untreated and cyclophosphamide-treated Chinese hamsters is described. Centromeres of chromosome 1 and 2 separated much earlier than all other chromosomes, especially 6-8. Cyclophosphamide significantly inhibits the centromere sep
Mutagenic damages in female germ cells of mice have been tested with the dominant lethal assay and the cytogenetic analysis of unfertilized M II-oocytes. Concluding one can say that from the experimental data presented here do not show any mutagenic effect of INH on oogenesis of different strains of
In this study the yield of the proliferation of the differentiating spermatogonia into spermatocytes was determined in five Chinese hamsters. Large differences of up to a factor 2 were found between the numbers of A1 spermatogonia in the various animals. However, the numbers of leptotene spermatocyt
