The frequency of exfoliated cells with micronuclei in buccal swabs was used to estimate the protective effect of vitamin A, beta-carotene and canthaxanthin (4,4'-diketo-beta-carotene) on the buccal mucosa of betel (areca) nut/tobacco chewers. Micronuclei were scored on exfoliated cells taken by swab
Background. Cytogenetic studies, framed to assess the possible genomic damage caused by areca nut consumption (without tobacco and not as a component of betel quid), were performed among areca nut chewers, which included normal people who chew areca nuts, patients with oral submucous fibrosis, and p
