The assumption of oxidative stress as a mechanism in copper toxicity suggests that antioxidants might play a role in the treatment of copper poisoning . The present study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of alphalipoic acid ( LA ) protection against chromosomal damage induced by copper sulphate in bone marrow cells of mice using two cytogenetic end points, chromosomal aberrations analysis ( CAs ) and micronucleus ( MN ) test
