Abstract: The micronucleus assay in mouse marrow PCE and chromosome aberration assay in mouse marrow cells have been used to investigate the inhibitory effect of flesh mulberry juice on mutation rate that was enhanced by cyclophosphamide. The result s showed that the flesh mulberry juice can significantly reduced the PCE micronucleus rate and chromosome aberration rate that was enhanced by the cyclophosphamide in mouse marrow ( P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01) . It also showed that these effect s have well dose - effect dependent relationship. The relative coefficient is - 0. 94 and - 0. 98.
