Effects of pesticides on exposed populations from four European countries
Piperakis, S. M.; Kontogianni, K.; Karanastasi, G.; Siffel, C.; Cebulska-Wasilewska, A.; Markos, R.; Iakovidou-Kritsi, Z.; Piperakis, M. M. (2008)The potential genetic hazard of pesticides to humans is of great concern, in particular in occupational and environmental settings because of their widespread use for domestic and industrial applications. In the present ... -
Effects of pesticides on occupationally exposed humans
Piperakis, S. M.; Kontogianni, K.; Piperakis, M. M.; Marcos, R.; Tsilimigaki, S. (2006)Pesticides are known to contain numerous genotoxic compounds; however, genotoxicity biomonitoring studies of workers occupationally exposed to pesticides have produced variable results. In this study, we employed the Comet ... -
Investigation of the Genotoxic Effect of Pesticides on Greenhouse Workers' Lymphocytes
Piperakis, S. M.; Kontogianni, K.; Karanastasi, G.; Iakovidou-Kritsi, Z.; Cebulska-Wasilewska, A.; Piperakis, M. M. (2009)In the present study, the genotoxic effects of commonly applied pesticides were evaluated using the alkaline comet assay (pH > 13). The amount of DNA damage (% DNA in tail) in peripheral lymphocytes of 49 male agricultural ... -
Measuring the effects of pesticides on occupationally exposed humans with the comet assay
Piperakis, S. M.; Kontogianni, K.; Siffel, C.; Piperakis, M. M. (2006)In this study we examine the effects of a mixture of pesticides on occupationally exposed agricultural workers. The study was performed on 149 people, 84 agricultural workers and 65 healthy men from the same area, who ... -
The use of comet assay in measuring DNA damage and repair efficiency in child, adult, and old age populations
Piperakis, S. M.; Kontogianni, K.; Karanastasi, G.; Iakovidou-Kritsi, Z.; Piperakis, M. M. (2009)In the present study, we used the Comet assay to estimate basal DNA damage in three distinct populations aged 5-10, 40-50, and 60-70 years old. The DNA damage induced by hydrogen peroxide and gamma-irradiation in the ...
