The widespread use of pesticides suggests that the evaluation their genotoxicity should be extended using different assays available. In present study we used two standard cytogenetic methods (chromosomal aberration analysis and micronucleus assay) Comet assay as a relatively new powerful technique. included 10 workers occupationally exposed to complex mixture (atrazine, alachlor, cyanazine, 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, malathion) during production 20 control subjects with no history...

The alkaline Comet assay was selected as a biomarker of exposure to evaluate the ongoing ionizing radiation 50 medical workers occupationally exposed and corresponding unexposed control subjects. primary DNA damage evaluated by measuring extent migration in peripheral blood leukocytes. inter-individual differences between subjects were compared with their dosimeter readings occupation. It found that who for different periods time showed highly significant increases levels controls. However,...

The aim of this study is to investigate the radioprotective effect bee venom against DNA damage induced by 915-MHz microwave radiation (specific absorption rate 0.6 W/kg) in Wistar rats. Whole blood lymphocytes rats are treated with 1 μg/mL 4 hours prior and immediately before irradiation. Standard formamidopyrimidine-DNA glycosylase (Fpg)–modified comet assays used assess basal oxidative produced reactive oxygen species. Bee shows a decrease compared irradiated samples. Parameters...
