Abstract:
The method of fluorometric analysis for DNA unity (FADU) was used to study the genotoxic effects of cyclophosphamide in rats. The dose dependence and time variation of mutagenicity manifestations in various organs and tissues of the experimental animals was studied. It was established that FADU results agree with the data obtained by conventional methods of cytogenetics. The results confirm the expediency of using FADU for the preclinical investigations of drugs.
