Childhood leukaemia near nuclear sites in Belgium, 2002–2008
increased leukaemia incidence rates were found in children aged 0-14 years living in the 0-5, 0-10 and the 0-15 km proximity areas. For this site, there was evidence for a gradient in leukaemia incidence with ...
Isolation and characterization of the compounds responsible for the antimutagenic activity of Combretum microphyllum (Combretaceae) leaf extracts
against 4- NQO and MMC induced mutations as evident in the Ames test. The antimutagenic activity of arjunolic acid may, at least in part, be attributed to its antioxidant activity resulting in the ...
The Vitotox and ToxTracker assays: a two-test combination for quick and reliable assessment of genotoxic hazards
small quantities and high throughput (automatized) technologies. Furthermore, the tests are less laborious. For the cosmetic industry, the generated information can be added in a weight-of-evidence ...
