Abstract excerpt
The functional characteristics of chromosomes (level of total heterochromatin, chromosome instability, and sister chromatid exchanges [SCEs]) were studied in cultured lymphocytes derived from 80- to 91-year-old and 18- to 30-year-old (control group) individuals under the single and combined effect of CoCl(2) and bioregulator Livagen.
