Description

Experiments were carried to understand the influence of sesamol on the γ-radiation induced micronuclei and dicentrics in human lymphocytes. The results have revealed that, there is significant decrease of γ-radiation induced cytogenetic effects and thus it can be opined that sesamol is a chromosomal protector
