Cocaine-induced nucleosomal DNA fragmentation on agarose gels in fetal rat brain. Cocaine was administered subcutaneously to the pregnant rats for 7 days as described in Methods. Cocaine-induced nucleosomal DNA fragmentation in fetal brain was separated in 1.8% agarose gels. The apoptotic DNA ladders shown were in the brain treated with 30 mg/kg/day (lane 3) and 60 mg/kg/day (lane 4), but not in the control brain (lane 2). DNA markers, ØX174 DNA fragments cut by HaeIII as size marker are shown in lane 1. The same results were obtained from five additional separate experiments.
