「アルコールはDNAを傷付けるという研究結果が発表される」記事へのコメント

マウスで実験？

[Anonymous Coward]

Newsweekでは「研究チームがマウスにエタノールを投与したところ」とあるけど、Natureでは「Here we describe the features and mutational landscape of DNA damage caused by acetaldehyde,」とあるから、試験管での結果だよね？紛らわしいな。

But in this study, published in Nature, researchers used mice to show how alcohol exposure leads to permanent genetic damage.

The Independentの記事 [independent.co.uk]

The study’s authors conducted their research on a group of mice, who were given ethanol and were subsequently examined to see what effect the acetaldehyde had on their cellular structures.

The Guardianの記事 [theguardian.com]

The research, using genetically modified mice, provides the most compelling evidence to date that alcohol causes cancer by scrambling the DNA in cells, eventually leading to deadly mutations.

むしろ、「試験管での結果」という解釈がどういう根拠なのか分からない。
