RESUMEN
El etanol y el isopropanol son, de los alcoholes alifáticos de cadena corta, los más frecuentemente asociados a la actividad humana tanto a nivel industrial como en el entorno doméstico. En este trabajo se presentan los principales hallazgos reportados en la literatura para ensayos de genotoxicidad y teratogénesis en modelos experimentales de distinto nivel de complejidad, con especial énfasis en Drosophila melanogaster. El metabolismo de estos alcoholes es semejante en Drosophila y en humanos por lo cual la mosca es un buen modelo in vivo para la evaluación de sus potenciales efectos tóxicos, genotóxicos y teratogénicos.
ABSTRACT
Ethanol and isopropanol are two of the short chain aliphatic alcohols more frequently associated to the human environment, both in the industrial and domestic conditions. The aim of this work was to present the main findings reported in the literature about their genotoxicity and teratogenicity in experimental models of different level of complexity, with special emphasis in Drosophila melanogaster. Taking into account that the metabolism of both alcohols in Drosophila and humans is similar, the fly is a good model for the evaluation of their potentially toxic, genotoxic and teratogenic effects.
