Abstract:
X-ray-induced chromosome aberrations were suppressed when vanillin, cinnamaldehyde, or p-anisaldehyde was given orally to mice after X-ray irradiation. Chromosome aberrations were monitored by the occurrence of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei in bone marrow cells. The frequency of micronuclei was depressed about 55-60% without toxicity of the test compounds to the bone marrow.
