Genotoxicity of pesticides: a review of human biomonitoring studies.
Pesticides constitute a heterogeneous category of chemicals specifically designed for the control of pests, weeds or plant diseases. Pesticides have been considered potential chemical mutagens: experimental data revealed that various agrochemical ingredients possess mutagenic properties inducing mutations, chromosomal alterations or DNA damage. Biological monitoring provides a useful tool to es...
متن کاملEffects of Flaxseed (Linum Usitatissimum L.) against Genotoxicity Induced by Cyclophosphamide on Human Blood Lymphocyte
Introduction: Medicinal plants, such as flaxseeds play an important role in the health of individuals and communities. Regarding the phytochemical properties of flaxseed, this study aimed to investigate the hydroalcoholic effects of this plant on the genetic toxicity of cyclophosphamide in peripheral blood lymphocytes. Materials & Methods: The flaxseed extract was initially prepared by macer...
متن کاملChemoprotective effect of thymol against genotoxicity induced by bleomycin in human lymphocytes
Bleomycin (BLM) as an anti-cancer agent causes tissue toxicities through DNA damaging and cell deaths. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of thymol against genotoxicity and anti-proliferation induced by BLM in normal human lymphocytes and ovarian cancer cells. Peripheral blood samples were collected from human volunteers and were incubated with thymol at different concentratio...
متن کاملProtective role of Lactobacillus plantarum A7 against irinotecan-induced genotoxicity
Objective: Irinotecan is a botanical derivative and an anti-cancer drug with cytotoxic and genotoxic effects. The present study evaluated the effect of Lactobacillus plantarum A7 on the genotoxic activity of irinotecan in a hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HepG2) by comet assay. Materials and Methods: HepG2 were incubated with irinotecan (100 µM), heat-killed cells (0.025 µg/ml) + irinotecan...
متن کاملMechanisms of fiber-induced genotoxicity.
The mechanisms of particle-induced genotoxicity have been investigated mainly with asbestos fibers. The results are summarized and discussed in this paper. DNA damage can be produced by oxidoreduction processes generated by fibers. The extent of damage yield depends on experimental conditions: if iron is present, either on fibers or in the medium, damage is increased. However, iron reactivity d...
