Variety-based variation in the antimutagenic potential of various vegetables and lack of its correlation with their antioxidant capacity.

Abstract excerpt

As mutation causes many life-threatening diseases including cancer, a diet enriched with specific vegetables having potential to reduce mutagenesis possesses immense significance. In this study, 41 commonly used vegetables from diverse botanical taxa were evaluated and compared for their relative antimutagenic potential using standard assays [Escherichia coli RNA polymerase β (rpoB)-based Rif(S) → Rif(R) assay...
