In this study,
it is aimed to test the possible effects of smoking on enzymes and chromosomes
of volunteers. The chromosomes from human periferal lymphocytes of smoking and
non-smoking volunteers were obtained, caryotype analysis were carried out by
G-banding and chromosome aberration were examined by CA technique through
spontaneous and positive mutagene induction for all donors. Again for all
donors, the chromosomes were labeled with some centromere probes for clinical
purposes through application of FISH technique. Additionally, GST enzyme
activities were determined on the all blood samples. As a result of obtained
data, parameters which tested on smokers and non-smokers were evaluated
comparatively. It is revealed that, GST enzyme activities were increased due to
smoking, but it is not pose any harm in chromosomes.
