Protective Effects of Extracts and Flavonoids Isolated from <em>Scutia buxifolia</em> Reissek against Chromosome Damage in Human Lymphocytes Exposed to Hydrogen Peroxide

Protective Effects of Extracts and Flavonoids Isolated from <em>Scutia buxifolia</em> Reissek against Chromosome Damage in Human Lymphocytes Exposed to Hydrogen Peroxide

Flavonoids are claimed to protect against cardiovascular disease, certain forms of cancer and ageing, possibly by preventing initial DNA damage. Therefore, we investigated the protective effects of crude extract, ethyl acetate fraction and flavonoids (quercetin, quercitrin, isoquercitrin and rutin)...
