Abstract excerpt
The influence of polymorphic glutathione S-transferases mu (GSTM1) and theta (GSTT1) on the rate of chromosome aberrations (CA) in peripheral lymphocytes of 30 pesticide-exposed floriculturists and 32 control subjects was studied. Pesticide exposure was not associated with elevated frequencies of...
