TY - JOUR PY - 1992// TI - Cytogenetic effects of diazepam in peripheral lymphocytes of self-poisoned persons JO - Mutation research A1 - van Bao, T. A1 - Imreh, E. A1 - Czeizel, Andrew E. SP - 131 EP - 137 VL - 298 IS - 2 N2 - The frequencies of chromosomal aberrations and of micronuclei were determined in lymphocyte cultures of 25 patients who attempted suicide with diazepam, 6-12 h, 72 h and 30 days after self-poisoning. These data were compared with those of healthy controls. The frequencies of numerical aberrations showed a significant increase immediately after self-poisoning. However, this effect could not be detected on the 3rd and 30th days after self-poisoning.
