CBMN assessment of carotenoids in HepG2 cells

This dataset contains micrographs of HepG2 cells exposed for 24h to the following carotenoids: 4.6 µM β-carotene, 40 µM trans-β-apo-8’-carotenal and 10 µM β-ionone 10 µM. Controls included cells grown only in culture medium, cells grown in solvent control (0.5% acetone) and cells grown in positive control 20 µM methyl methanesulfonate (MMS), a mutagenic compound. Cells were further incubated with cytochalalin B for a sufficient period of time to allow nuclear division while preventing cytokinesis.
