The comet assay is widely used in human biomonitoring to measure DNA damage as a
marker of exposure to genotoxic agents or to investigate genoprotective effects. Studies …

Generation of DNA damage is considered to be an important initial event in carcinogenesis.
The single cell gel electrophoresis (comet) assay is a technically simple and fast method that …

Although the current production of oxide nanoparticles may be modest, the wide range of
proposed applications and forecasted growth in production has raised questions about the …

Reactive oxygen species produced during vigorous exercise may permeate into cell nuclei
and induce oxidative DNA damage, but the supporting evidence is still lacking. By using a …

The comet assay is widely used in studies on genotoxicity testing, human biomonitoring and
clinical studies. The simple version of the assay detects a mixture of DNA strand breaks and …

The comet assay (single cell gel electrophoresis) is widely used as a biomonitoring tool to
assess DNA damage–strand breaks, as well as oxidised bases; it can also be adapted to …

The alkaline Comet assay is a widely used single cell gel electrophoresis technique for the
quantification of DNA strand breaks, crosslinks and alkali-labile sites induced by a series of …

Objective Oxidative stress is a postulated etiology of spontaneous preterm birth (PTB) and
preterm prelabor rupture of the membranes (pPROM); however, the precise mechanistic role …

The recent finding that acrylamide (AA), a carcinogen in animal experiments and a probable
human carcinogen, is formed in foods during cooking raises human health concerns. The …

In several epidemiological studies, high intakes of fruits and vegetables have been
associated with a lower incidence of cancer. Theoretically, intake of antioxidants by …
