Serious concerns have been expressed about potential health risks of Nano silver containing consumer products (AgNPs) therefore regulatory health risk assessment on such nanoparticles has become mandatory for the safe use of AgNPsinbiomedicalproducts with special concerns to the mutagenic potentials. In this study, we examined the inhibitory and mutagenicity effects of AgNPs in three different ...

The i.-arabinose resistance test with Salmonella typhimurium (Ara test) is a forward mutation assay which selects a single phenotypic change (from i.-arabinose sensitivity to i -¡imitinosiresistance) in a unique tester strain (an araD mutant). The present study examined the ability of the Ara test to identify as mutagens different classes of chemical carcinogens, including six with detection p...

The L-arabinose resistance test with Salmonella typhimurium (Ara test) is a forward mutation assay which selects a single phenotypic change (from L-arabinose sensitivity to L-arabinose resistance) in a unique tester strain (an araD mutant). The present study examined the ability of the Ara test to identify as mutagens different classes of chemical carcinogens, including six with detection probl...

Arruva, the R,R-isomer of monatin (sodium/potassium 2R,4R-2-amino-4-carboxy-4-hydroxy-5-(3-indolyl) pentanoate), an intense sweetener originally identified in root bark of the South African shrub Schlerochitin ilicifolius, was examined for its mutagenic and genotoxic potential via bacterial reverse mutation, mouse lymphoma and in vivo mouse micronucleus assays, all accomplished in the presence ...

Picrorhiza kurroa is a recognized herb in the Ayurvedic and Chinese system of traditional medicine. It is effective in treating a variety of diseases ranging from digestion problems to paralysis. Thus it is essential to rule out any kind of toxicity, mutagenicity or carcinogenicity in the plant to be used as a medicine. The study was conducted to evaluate ability of Picrorhiza kurroa to induce ...
