Abstract
This work aims at dislosing the capability of acrylamide in causing genotoxic effect in golden hamster genome. To achieve such a purpose, five different doses that ranged from 1 to 20 mg/ kg b. wt. were chosen and tested employing three genotoxic bioassays. These assays are : 1-Estimation of cell proliferation, 2-Analysis of chromosomal abnormalities; and 3-In vivo induction of sister chromatid exchanges.
The results obtained showed that all tested doses were found to be toxic and cellular toxicity was observed. Analysis o chromosomal aberrations revealed that acrylamide is a positive clastogenic agent. Sister chromatid exchange assay indicated that acrylamide is a powerful inducer of primary genetic damage.
