The modifying impact of melaxen on the genotoxic effects of chronic cadmium intoxication in rats

Abstract

Using the micronucleus test, the protective effect of melaxen (10 mg / kg) was shown in chronic experimental cadmium intoxication (0.3 mg / kg) in rat blood, p <0.001. The studied remedy demonstrated the ability to reduce the expected number of micronuclei and polychromatophilic red blood cells (PCE) induced by cadmium during two-week and one-month exposure. In chronic intragastric injection of melaxen, an increase in the number of micronuclei and PCEs was not registered in comparison with the control, p> 0.05.
