1 S9: 9000× g supernatant in liver homogenate. 2 Blank: treated with PBS. Controls were treated with 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQNO; direct mutagenic test) or 2-aminoanthracene (2-AF; indirect mutagenic test). 3 Values (means ± SD, n = 3) in each column not sharing the same superscript letter are significantly different (p < 0.05).
