TL;DR: Evaluating the mutagenic activity of Disperse Red 1 and Disperse Orange 1 using the micronucleus (MN) assay in human lymphocytes and in HepG2 cells found that the number of MN induced by the lowest concentration of each dye was similar to that of the negative control.

TL;DR: Rutin was tested against the pro-carcinogenic agent benzo(a)pyrene, at concentrations of 90, 270 and 810 μM, and was found to reduce induced DNA damage significantly, suggesting an important biological activity for this compound, which can contribute to human health through the diet.

TL;DR: It was concluded that conventional chlorination should be used with caution for the treatment of aqueous samples contaminated with azo dyes, because chlorination of these dyes is not efficient in mineralizing them.

TL;DR: Both Bd seem to be stressors for the cells, causing cytotoxic, biochemical and genetic alterations in ZFL cells, but the type and intensity of the changes found appear to be dependent on the biodiesel production route.

TL;DR: Investigation of cytotoxicity, induction of apoptosis, and changes in apoptosis-related genes of maximal physiological serum levels of the isoflavone genistein in MCF-7 tumoral cells and in HB4a non-tumoral cells found that Gen at physiologically relevant serum levels still exerts chemopreventive effects through the modulation of cell cycle.
