[Mutagenic action of methandrostenolone]. 1980

N B Maganova, and A N Zaĭtsev

Metandrostenolone provoked no chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells of mice, but induced dominant lethal mutations in sexual cells of males in the stages of early spermatids and spermatocytes. This was established from increased preimplantation lethality weeks 3, 4 and 5 and from postimplantation embryonic lethality weeks 3, 5 and 6 after the experiment was started.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D008297	Male		Males
D008677	Metaphase	The phase of cell nucleus division following PROMETAPHASE, in which the CHROMOSOMES line up across the equatorial plane of the SPINDLE APPARATUS prior to separation.
D008696	Methandrostenolone	A synthetic steroid with anabolic properties that are more pronounced than its androgenic effects. It has little progestational activity. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1188)	Dehydromethyltestosterone,Metandienone,Methandienone,Dianabol,Metanabol,Nerobol

D008810	Mice, Inbred C57BL	One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D001853	Bone Marrow	The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
