Abstract excerpt
The genotoxic activity of cadmium chloride (CC) has been evaluated in the somatic mutation and recombination test (SMART) in Drosophila melanogaster. In addition, its possible modulating effect on the genotoxicity of two known mutagenic agents, potassium dichromate (PDC) and ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS), was investigated. Three different types of combined treatments of CC with the two genotoxins were performed:...
