Abstract
⺠We evaluated the in vitro genetic damage induced by curcumin to human lymphocytes. ⺠Concentrations from 1 to 50 μg/ml of curcumin induced chromosomal aberrations. ⺠Sister chromatid exchange rate was not statistically modified by curcumin. ⺠Contrary to proliferation index, mitotic index was increased for each concentration. ⺠Higher concentrations of curcumin could have a in vitro cyto and genotoxic effect.
