Abstract excerpt
This paper describes the results of a study designed to assess the effects of a variety of dietary and lifestyle factors on background levels of mutant frequency (MF) at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene locus in humans. Eighty-three healthy and free-living subjects (aged 20-80 yr; 61 males and 22 females; mean age of 63.07 +/- 14.71 yr) were recruited. Background levels of MF were...
