Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Chromosome aberrations (CA) were used as an end-point to investigate the effect of buthionine sulphoximine (BSO), a potent glutathione-depleting agent, on the radiosensitivity of mammalian cells. The aim was to obtain information about the role of glutathione (GSH) in physicochemical and biochemical processes in irradiated cells. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CA were scored from first cycle metaphases in...
