In the present study, the genotoxic effects of EMS
gradually increased up to 72 h after treatment but the
genotoxic effects appeared to decline thereafter, except for
sperm head abnormality. Interestingly, the genotoxic
effects of EMS were considerably reduced when different
doses of VC or BC were also injected alongside. Such
protective effects of some vitamins have also been reported
against various mutagens and toxicants and linked mainly
to their anti-oxidant nature
