[Effects of vibration on contents of micronuclei in polychromatophilic erythrocytes of the rat bone marrow].

The paper presents data on the impact of vibration (32 Hz) on spontaneous mutagenesis in mammals. Higher counts of micronuclei were found in the bone marrow polychromophilic red blood cells in rats on day 5 of exposure to vibration, there was a reduction in their counts by day 20 and their recovery by day 30, and their steady-state decrease within 30 days after vibration discontinuation. The involvement of emotional stress in the mechanism of antimutagenic action of vibration is considered.
