Acrylamide (AA) is genotoxic and has been classified as a probable human carcinogen. Human exposure to AA may be high by the consumption of starch-based food that has been treated at high temperature, e.g. potato chips and crisps. For risk assessment, extrapolation to the expected low doses to humans will be more reliable when data from low experimental doses can be used. We have registered the effects of a series of low doses in the sensitive flow cytometer-based micronucleus assay in mice, paying special attention to deviations from the expected linear dose-response function. Two experiments were performed with CBA mice, injected i.p. with different doses of AA. In one experiment the effects of 22 doses (two mice per dose) ranging from 0 to 100 mg/kg b.w. were studied. In the second experiment seven doses (five mice per dose) ranging from 0 to 30 mg/kg b.w. were used. In both experiments, a clear increase of the frequency of micronucleated erythrocytes was seen, already at the lowest doses used. The dose-response function was found to be linear with a tendency to have a steeper rise at the lowest doses. The low DNA content of the micronuclei indicated an absence of whole chromosomes, i.e. no aneugenic effect of AA. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
