Abstract

The results of this study suggest that acrylamide may be effective per se in causing peripheral nervous system damage in rats after repeated exposure to toxic doses (25-50 mg/gkg/day) whereas other toxic effects of this agent, such as reproductive toxicity appear to be mediated by the metabolite glycidamide
