Abstract excerpt
The genotoxic potential of two oxidizing compounds, potassium bromate and potassium superoxide, was comparatively tested in various genotoxicity tests with V79 Chinese hamster cells. Both substances clearly induced cytotoxicity, chromosome aberrations and increased DNA migration in the alkaline comet assay. Using a modified comet assay protocol with FPG protein, a DNA repair enzyme which specifically nicks DNA at...
