Abstract excerpt
A study was made of the influence of diphenols (for instance, resorcinol, hydroquinone, and pyrocatechin) on gamma-radiation induction of micronuclei (1.5 Gy). The position of the diphenol molecule hydroxyl group (the isomeric effect) was shown to influence their antimutagenic activity. This antimutagenic effect of the diphenols is associated with their ability to produce semiquinone and quinone forms which are...
