Results from comet assay experiments. CAECs were treated with Res (10−5 mol/l for 24 h) followed by exposure to CSE (from 0.4 to 40 µg/ml). A–D: frequency distribution of tail DNA content in untreated control cells (A) and CAECs treated with CSE or Res plus CSE [B–D; damaged DNA migrates during electrophoresis from the nucleus toward the anode, forming a shape of a comet with a head (cell nucleus with intact DNA) and a tail (relaxed and broken DNA)]. E: summary data. Res pretreatment significantly attenuated CSE-induced increases in tail DNA content. *P < 0.05.
