The effects of L-ascorbic acid (AsA) on the mutations induced by ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) were examined by means of the 6-thioguanine (6TG)-resistant mutation assay and chromosome aberration assay in cultured Chinese hamster V79 cells. When cells were treated with EMS at various concentrations in the presence of 100 micrograms/ml AsA, EMS-induced 6TG-resistant mutations were reduced about one third or one...
