Figure 14

Decrease in micronucleus frequencies by simultaneous treatment by various concentrations of C. spinosa with KBrO₃ in peripheral blood of mice after exposure of 72 hours. (a) Control showing normal PCE and NCE. (b) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO₃. (c) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO₃ + 50 mg/kg bw C. spinosa. (d) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO₃ + 100 mg/kg bw C. spinosa. (e) 150 mg/kg bw KBrO₃ + 150 mg/kg bw C. spinosa showing only few micronucleated PCE as compared to KBrO₃ treatment alone.
