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 ... -
Effects of pesticides on exposed populations from four European countries
(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 ... -
Measuring the effects of pesticides on occupationally exposed humans with the comet assay

The use of comet assay in measuring DNA damage and repair efficiency in child, adult, and old age populations
(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 ...
