Enhanced synergism between caffeine and mitomycin C in the induction of cytogenetic aberrations in thymidine kinase-deficient Friend murine erythroleukaemia cells.

abstract：:Extracts from lean pork heated at 200 degrees C have a strong mutagenic activity in the Ames Salmonella assay (strain TA98 +S9). The formation of mutagenicity is highly temperature dependent, thus an extract heated at 100 degrees C is not mutagenic in this system. This paper shows that the 200 degrees C extract also c...
