Metformin (dimethyl-biguanide) is an insulin-sensitizing agent that lowers fasting plasma-insulin concentration, wherefore it's wide use for patients with a variety of insulin-resistant and prediabetic states, including impaired glucose tolerance. During pregnancy it is a further resource for reducing first-trimester pregnancy loss in women with the polycystic ovary syndrome. We tested metformin genotoxicity in cells of Chinese hamster ovary, CHO-K1 (chromosome aberrations; comet assays) and in mice (micronucleus assays). Concentrations of 114.4 µg/mL and 572 µg/mL were used in in vitro tests, and 95.4 mg/kg, 190.8 mg/kg and 333.9 mg/kg in assaying. Although the in vitro tests revealed no chromosome aberrations in metaphase cells, DNA damage was detected... |

The aim of this work was to investigate the genetic effects of resveratrol (RSV) at concentrations of 10, 15, 25, 40, 75 and 100 µM and its activities on the genotoxicity induced by the permethrin (PM) (200 µM). After the application of PM and RSV, separately and together, cultured human lymphocytes were assessed by chromosome aberrations (CA) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) tests. According to results, the frequencies of CA and SCE rates in the peripheral lymphocytes were significantly increased by PM compared with the controls. However, RSV had no genotoxic effect. Furthermore, the findings revealed that PM-induced increases in the mean frequencies of both genotoxic indices were diminished by RSV in a clear dose dependent manner, indicating its... |
