Toxicity Profile for Glyceraldehyde (1990)
Abstract
Glyceraldehyde caused chromosome damage to human cells in culture and showed genotoxic activity in hamster cells. It was mutagenic in Ames bacterial tests. Foetotoxicity was seen in rats given a single dose by injection into the uterus. Some indications of eye irritancy were reported in tissue culture studies.

What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
