DNA damage and repair capacity in lymphocytes from obstructive sleep apnea patients
(2007)Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is a respiratory disease that is linked to heart attacks and high blood pressure. In the present study, we used the Comet assay to compare basal DNA damage and DNA damage induction ... -
DNA damage and repair efficiency in lymphocytes from schizophrenic patients
(2004)In the present study we examined schizophrenic patients' lymphocytes sensitivity to the effects of external factors, such as hydrogen peroxide and gamma-irradiation and also their repair efficiency with the comet assay. ... -
Effects of pulsed electric fields on DNA of human lymphocytes
(2006)The effects of pulsed electric fields of low frequency (50 Hz) on DNA of human lymphocytes were investigated. The influence of additional external factors, such as hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) and gamma-irradiation, as well ... -
Excision of an oxidative DNA lesion (8-oxo-deoxyguanosine) in Mytilus edulis populations from two sites in the eastern Irish Sea
(2008)Mussels (Mytilus edulis) from the urban/industrialised site of New Brighton, Merseyside, UK and the reference site of Llandudno, North Wales, UK were collected at various time-points in 2005-2006. The excision capacity of ... -
Investigation of the Genotoxic Effect of Pesticides on Greenhouse Workers' Lymphocytes
(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 ... -
Organic pollution and its effects in the marine mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis in Eastern Mediterranean coasts
(2015)Persistent chemicals and emerging pollutants are continuously detected in marine waters and biota. Out of these, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) and organochlorine pesticides (OCs) are significant contaminants with ...
