Renal DNA tail length, tail intensity (% of total genomic DNA found in the tail of the comets), and tail moment (tail length × tail intensity/100) measured by the comet essay in control and different treated rat groups

Animal groups Control GSPE Fish oil Cisplatin GSPE + Cisplatin Fish oil + Cisplatin
Tail length (µm) Mean ± SE 2.43 ± 0.02a 2.47 ± 0.02a 2.46 ± 0.01a 5.00 ± 0.07b 3.66 ±  0.04c 3.94 ± 0.01d
Tail intensity (%) Mean ± SE 2.37 ± 0.03a 2.40 ± 0.02a 2.49 ± 0.01b 4.89 ± 0.01c 3.72 ± 0.05d 3.58 ± 0.02e
Tail moment (UNIT) Mean ± SE 0.058 ± 0.0008a 0.059 ± 0.0007a 0.062 ± 0.001a 0.244 ± 0.004b 0.135 ± 0.001c 0.141 ± 0.001d

Data are expressed as mean ± SE of 6 rats. Within each row, means with different superscript (a, b, c or d) were significantly different at p < 0.05, whereas means superscripts with the same letters mean that there is no significant difference (p > 0.05). Grape seed proanthcyanidin extract
