Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the cytogenetic effects of ethanol extract
of Petroselium crispum leaves on somatic cells of albino mice Mus musculus.Four
doses (250,500,1000,2000)mgkg were used.Three tests,mitotic
index,micronucleus formation and chromosomal aberration.
Results indicated that the extracts have significant effects p used. which inhibit somatic division in 250 and 500mgkg doses after 21 and 28
days (P<0.05) of treatment by comparison with the control. Ethanolic leaves
extract showed little effect on micronucleus formation and chromosomal
aberration.
It can be concluded that the crude extract of leaves for the above plant can
be used in cancer treatment of cancer since it has the ability in inhibition of
somatic division which has.
