Abstract: The mice bone2marrow polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) micronucleus test in vivo to check the antimutagenic effect of fortified full2nut ritional milk (FFNM) on mutagenicity induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) was carried out and anticarcinogenic potentials of FFNM on t ransplanted sarcoma S180 , bladder carcinoma and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice were tested. The experimental result s indicated that FFNM with preventive administ ration significantly inhibited CP induced bone2marrow micronucleus formation in mice , which suggest that FFNM exhibited a protective effect on mutageninduced chromosomal breakage , i. e. it have a antimuta genic action. In addition , to a certain degree , FFNM might inhibit growth of t ransplanted substantive tumor.These result s suggested that FFNM might be of potential value in it s clinical applications.
