摘要：

The effects of natural compounds, vitamin C and quercetin, present in fruits and vegetables, on the DNA damaging activity of a food carcinogen N-methyl- N'-nitro- N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG) were examined using the comet assay. Vitamin C, at a concentration of 50 muM, inhibited MNNG-induced DNA damage in human lymphocytes. Quercetin, up to a concentration of 10 muM, increased the extent of DNA damage, but at concentrations above 10 muM decreased damage below control values. Furthermore, quercetin had a strong antioxidant activity against oxidative damage evoked by H2O2 at 10 muM. The results obtained suggest that vitamin C and quercetin may have anti- or pro-oxidative properties depending on the state of the cell.
