Development and Application of an LC-MS/MS Method for the Detection of the Vinyl Chloride-Induced DNA Adduct N2,3-Ethenoguanine in Tissues of Adult and Weanling Rats Following Exposure to [13C2]-VC
Chemical Research in Toxicology, 23(9), 1485–1491.
TL;DR:
The use of stable isotope labeled VC permitted accurate estimates of the half-life of εG for the first time by comparing [(13)C(2)]-εG in adult rats with identically exposed animals euthanized 2, 4, or 8 weeks later, suggesting little or no active repair of this promutagenic adduct.
