Chromosomal Damage by Alcohol In Vitro and In Vivo

- Published by Springer Nature
Abstract
Alcohol has no damaging effects on human chromosomes in vitro. The chromosomes of alcoholics, however, show a significant elevation of aberrations. Alcohol inhibits cellular and cell free RNA synthesis. One possible reason for the mutagenic activity of alcohol in vivo may be an inhibition of cellular repair.Keywords
