Effect of mangiferin on radiation-induced micronucleus formation in cultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Irradiation causes a variety of lesions in important biomolecules of the cell through generation of free radicals leading to genomic instability. DNA strand breaks, acentric fragments, or defective kinetochores are manifested as micronuclei after the first cell division. Chemicals that can trap free radicals may reduce the deleterious effects of ionizing radiation. Mangiferin (MGN), a glucosylxanthone derived...
