ABSTRACT. This study aims to verify the recombinogenic effect of artificial edulcorant laspartil-l-phenylalanine-metyl-ester (aspartame), widely used in hypocaloric and lowglucose diets. Such effect may reflect cell response to genetic damage, induced by artificial edulcorant in the cell cycle G 2 period and shows its capacity to induce homozygosis of recessive genes, previously present in heterozygosis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
