Antimutagenic Activities Extracts from Leaves of the Morus alba, Morus nigra and Their Mixtures

Abstract

The influence of Morus alba and Morus nigra leaf extracts, and their mixture on the structure and functions of plants and animals cells were studied. The absence of the genotoxicity of the extracts and their mixture has been established. All active biological compounds studied demonstrate genoprotective properties. The studied extracts and their mixtures decreased the mutability level induced with chemical mutagens, gamma-rays and ageing in the plants (Vicia faba, Arabidopsis thaliana) and animals (rats) cells.
