positive control	31.1	42.3	35.5	46.1	63.7	29.4	279.8

Note: solvent control is sterile water; positive control of S9 metabolic activation system is 3 μg mL⁻¹ cyclophosphamide; positive control of no activation system is 10 μg mL⁻¹ methyl methanesulfonate; Groups 1-4 are 50 μg mL⁻¹ GA + 10 μg mL⁻¹ DDAB, 100 μg mL⁻¹ GA + 20 μg mL⁻¹ DDAB, 150 μg mL⁻¹ GA + 30 μg mL⁻¹ DDAB, and 200 μg mL⁻¹ GA + 40 μg mL⁻¹ DDAB, respectively. P < 0.01.
