Phenylmercury acetate (PMA), which not only causes an elevation of sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) but also induces high frequency of endoreduplication in human lymphocytes, may be genotoxic to humans. The major aim of our study was to investigate the effects of germanium oxide (GeO2), D-penicilla
