Abstract excerpt
The level of spontaneous and gamma-radiation-induced mutations in the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (hprt) locus as well as the decrease in frequency of these mutations in mice of various age pretreated with dietary supplements of an antioxidant mixture (vitamins C, E, beta-carotene, rutin, selenium, zinc) were studied in splenocytes of young (8-14-week-old) and aged (102-110-week-old) male...
