In vivo inhalation exposure to styrene oxide (25, 50, 75 and 100 ppm) for 2, 4 or 20 days (25 ppm only) had no effects on chromosomal aberration rates or sister chromatid exchange (SCE) frequencies (BrdU/labelling performed in vitro) in the bone marrow cells of Chinese hamsters. The only positive response in aberration frequency was obtained when styrene oxide was injected in lethal concentration (500 mg/kg body weight, i.p.) into the animal. One animal out of six showed slightly elevated SCE values after this high dose. The response of the hepatic drug metabolizing enzymes to styrene oxide exposure was found to be rather weak, which may be due to rather high activity of epoxide hydratase in Chinese hamsters as compared to e.g. mouse.
