Sublethal effects of acrylamide on thyroid hormones, complete blood count and micronucleus frequency of vertebrate model organism (Cyprinus carpio)

Abstract

Acrylamide, a widely used chemical in industry, clinical laboratory and waste treatment plants, is considered a carcinogen in humans. The present study examined the hormonal, hematologic, and genotoxic responses in the invertebrate model common carp Cyprinus carpio after exposure to sublethal acrylamide.
