    • Ellagic acid is a naturally occurring plant phenol that has demonstrated anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic activity in several test systems. Given the common proposed etiopathogenic processes of mutagenesis, carcinogenesis, and teratogenesis induced by genotoxic chemicals, the present study was initiated to determine whether ellagic acid would protect rat embryos in culture from the teratogenic effects of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU). Ellagic acid alone (as used in these experiments; 50 microM… CONTINUE READING
