Abstract: In this experiment , green tea were used as detected material ,alum as the mutagen ,the f requency of micronucleus as the index of DNA damage. The result was that feed containing 10 % green tea decrease the f requency of micronucleus f rom 7167 ±1197 ‰to 3150 ±1105 ‰( P <0101) . The result showed that the green tea could inhibit DNA damage induced by alum.

Key words: green tea, alum, micronucleus
