Figure Lengend Snippet: Bar graph summary of the strains used in the Ames test treated with different H. junceus scorpion venom concentrations. Each strain was incubated with (grey) and without (black) the post‐mitochondrial S9 fraction obtained from rat liver. Distilled water (NC) was included for all strains, and a positive control (PC) was included for each strain (see methods section). (A) TA100; (B) TA1535; (C) E. coli mix ( E. coli uvrA + E. coli uvrA (pKM101)); (D) TA98; Data are given as mean values ± standard deviation.
Article Snippet: The final scorpion venom concentrations (0.16, 0.32, 0.63, 1.25, 2.5, 5 mg/mL) were exposed for 90 min. All tests were in the presence and absence of the post‐mitochondrial fraction (S9) prepared from the livers of Sprague‐Dawley male rats, treated with the enzyme‐inducing agent Aroclor 1254.
