Abstract
Cytogenetic assays in somatic cells for identification of chromosomal aberr ation and micronuclei (MN) were used for studying the antimutagenic effects of Centella asiatica (CA), Alternanthera sessilis (AS), and Emblica offici nalis (EO) in somatic cells of mice. The results showed that the antiagents have a moderate antimutagenic nature against the cyclophosphamide (CP) and chromium (Cr) induced genotoxicity.
