The antigenotoxic effect of apigenin was studied against the genotoxic damage induced by mitomycin C on mouse bone marrow cells using sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) and chromosomal aberrations (CAs) as parameters. Apigenin was studied at three different doses i.e. 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg b.w. and was found to be non-genotoxic at all the above three doses. Mitomycin C at 2 mg/kg b.w. was given along with the 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg bw of apigenin. A significant decrease in SCEs and CAs was observed, suggesting a protective role of apigenin against the genotoxicity of mitomycin C on mice bone marrow cells.
以姐妹染色单体交换(SCEs)和染色体畸变(CAs)为参数,研究了芹菜素对丝裂霉素C诱导的小鼠骨髓细胞遗传毒性损伤的抗遗传毒性作用。研究了芹菜素的三种不同剂量,即10、20和40mg/kg体重,发现上述三种剂量的芹菜素均无遗传毒性。2mg/kg体重的丝裂霉素C与10、20和40mg/kg体重的芹菜素一起给药。观察到SCEs和CAs显著减少,表明芹菜素对丝裂霉素C对小鼠骨髓细胞的遗传毒性具有保护作用。
