DNA damage and repair detected by the comet assay in lymphocytes of African petrol attendants: a pilot study
(Oxford Univ Press, 2008)
Petrol attendants are exposed to petrol volatile organic compounds (VOCs) which may have genotoxic and carcinogenic effects. The single-cell gel electrophoresis assay (comet assay) is a method highly sensitive to DNA damage ...
Investigating the potential neuroprotective effects of statins on DNA damage in mouse striatium
(Elsevier, 2008)
We investigated the protective effect of pravastatin, simvastatin and atorvastatin on striatal DNA damage as a potential method to conserve and protect the nigrostriatal neurons. C57Bl/J6 mice were treated with combinations ...
Ozone concentration dependant autohaemotherapy effects on baboon antioxidant capacity and DNA integrity and repair capacity of lymphocytes
(Academic Journals, 2009)
Although ozone is widely used as an alternative medicine, its safety and efficiency are met with
scepticism. To shed some light on this, we assessed the effect of ozone-autohaemotherapy, using an
O2/O3 gas mixture ...
