Abstract

A relatively high concentration of crude extract of garlic, (Allium sativum L.)-single clove variety, was found to reduce the cytotoxic effects of three doses of sodium arsenite, corresponding to 1/10, 1/30 and 1/50 of the LD50 in laboratory bred male Swiss albino mice. The animals were given a single oral dose of the chemical, together with the extract, and effects were observed after 24 h in bone marrow cells following the colchicine-fixation-airdry-Giemsa schedule. The endpoints scored were chromosomal aberrations and damaged cells.
