Example Sentences

"The interpretation we propose is that, in the case of chloramphenicol, the plant may generate fewer genotoxic byproducts or release antioxidant compounds into the rhizosphere, reducing oxidative stress in the fish. On the other hand, enrofloxacin is chemically more stable and may produce persistent and potentially toxic metabolites whose action is not neutralized by the macrophyte," the researcher comments.

"Many of these enzymes synthesize essential building blocks of life, and their nuclear localization is associated with DNA repair. Their presence in the nucleus may therefore directly shape how cancer cells respond to genotoxic stress, a hallmark of many chemotherapeutic treatments. It's an entirely new world to explore," says Dr. Sara Sdelci, corresponding author of the study and researcher at the Centre for Genomic Regulation.

"Specifically, we could eliminate the use of radiation and genotoxic chemotherapy called busulfan, with exceptional outcomes."

From Science Daily

This class of carbonyls is highly reactive and potentially genotoxic, or able to cause damage to DNA when consumed.

From Science Daily

Considering that the recommended threshold for genotoxic substances is only 0.15 micrograms per person per day, consuming these desserts could exceed that limit, though additional studies are needed to accurately assess the potential health risk.
