Abstract:Vanadium (V) is a metal that can enter the environment through natural routes or anthropogenic activity. In the atmosphere, V is present as V oxides, among which vanadium(III) oxide (V2O3) stands out. Cytogenetic studies show that V2O3 is genotoxic and cytostatic and induces DNA damage; however, the molecular mechanisms leading to these effects have not been fully explored. Therefore, we used human peripheral blood lymphocytes treated in vitro and evaluated the effects of V2O3 on the phases of the cell cycle, … Show more
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.
