The genotoxic effects of orally administered garlic and turmeric were evaluated in bone-marrow cells of mice by performing the micronucleus test. Another spice, asafoetida, was tested for the induction of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) in spermatogonia of mice. Results of the micronucleus test with garlic and turmeric were not significantly different from control values. Orally administered asafoetida, however, showed a weak SCE-inducing effect in spermatogonia.
通过进行微核试验，评估了口服大蒜和姜黄对小鼠骨髓细胞的遗传毒性作用。对另一种香料阿魏进行了测试，以检测其对小鼠精原细胞姐妹染色单体交换（SCE）的诱导作用。大蒜和姜黄的微核试验结果与对照值无显著差异。然而，口服阿魏对精原细胞显示出较弱的SCE诱导作用。
