Abstracts

EN

Diethylenetriamine (DETA) and Sodium Nitroprusside (NaNP), the exogenous NO-generating compounds, were tested for their genotoxicity in human lymphocytes in vitro using the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) technique. Both compounds were found to be inactive in inducing SCE in concentrations from 0.3 to 30 pM. However both compounds displayed an inhibiting effect on cell kinetics.
