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 effects of the presence of foreign DNA on DNA methylation and DNA repair events in cultured eukaryotic cells
(Elsevier, 2013)Methylation of DNA in eukaryotic cells, global as well as gene-specific, is affected by endogenous and endogenous factors. In this paper, it is reported that deviations in DNA methylation and expression of genes involved ... -
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 ...
