摘要
Aspartame and acesulfame-K, non-nutritive sweeteners, are permitted individually in diets and beverages. These sweeteners of different classes, used in combination, have been found to possess a synergistic sweetening effect. Whether they also have a synergistic genotoxic effect is unknown. Sn iss Albino male mire were exposed to blends of aspartame (3.5, 35, 350 mg/kg body weight) and acesulfame-K (1.5, 15 and 150 mg/kg body weight) by gavage, Bone marrow cells isolated from femora were analysed for chromosome aberrations. Statistical analysis of the results show that aspartame in combination with acesulfame-K is not significantly genotoxic, (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
