Abstract excerpt
Experiments were carried out to investigate whether or not depletion of the glutathione (GSH) level in Drosophila melanogaster larvae with buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) treatment can result in the modulation of the frequency of sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) mutations induced by gamma-radiation. Third instar larvae were fed on BSO for 24 h before exposure to 10 Gy gamma-radiation. Immediately after this the...
