Abstract

The aim of the study was to evaluate the genetic activity of erythrocytes in peripheral on the model of peripheral blood erythrocytes in mice. The studies were carried out on mice (males) of the C 57B4/6 line weighing 20 g (1,5–2 months of age). For each experimental and control variant, six males were taken. The animals were kept in vivarium conditions according to international criteria for rinofix bedding, food and water ad libitum. When determining the genetic effects, the adrenergic receptor ligand was injected subcutaneously once. After 8 hours, a mutation inducer, an alkylating drug, cyclophosphamide, was injected intraperitoneally at a dose of 30 mg/kg. Before the end of the experiment in 2,5 hour, mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2.5 mg/kg of colchicine. 24 hours after injection, the animals were euthanized by delongation. The number of erythrocytes with micronuclei was counted from 2000 analyzed cells. The greatest antimutagenic effect (87,5%) of epinephrine hydrotartrate, a stimulator of α- and β-adrenergic receptors, was found at doses of 5 and 0,5 mg/kg.
