Abstract

Oral administration of the orange drink Tampico containing additionally vitamins A (12.7 mg/l), B (1.81 mg/l), C (86.9 mg/l) to FICBAxC57B1/6 mice has been shown to stabilize erythrocytic membranes and reduce chromosomal aberrations in the murine bone marrow cells induced by cyclophosphamide. There are experimental data on the effects of Tampico on the rate of reparative synthesis in peripheral lymphocytes and blood levels of malonic aldehyde in the mice exposed to model psychoemotional stress.
