The Effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus cell free extract on micronuclei in white male mice

Abstract

This study dealt with the effect of Lactobacillus acidophilus concentrated filtrate on polychromatic erythrocyte. The result showed that Lactobacillus acidophilus concentrated filtrate caused a non significant decrease in micronucleus formation at first dose in comparison with negative control while a significant decrease in micronucleus formation was shown in albino male mice at second and third doses in comparison with negative and positive controls. The result of post-treatment by concentrated filtrate also caused a significant decrease in micronucleus formation while the pre-treatment caused non significant decrease in the micronucleus formation in comparison with the corresponding control.
