Table 2.

Posttreatment protocol: number of cells with damaged DNA from six different subjects, first treated with thyroxine and H₂O₂ and subsequently incubated with different concentrations of dry olive leaf extract (DOLE).

Oxidants		DOLE concentrations
		1 mg/mL	0.5 mg/mL	0.125 mg/mL
Thyroxine (50 µM)	16.67 ± 1.54	6.92 ± 1.24*	3.58 ± 0.68*	5.25 ± 0.72*
H2O2 (25 µM)	84.5 ± 4.93	16.83 ± 3.94*	6.83 ± 2.70*	14.5 ± 4.31*

Values are expressed as mean ± SEM for comet scores in 100 cells from 6 subjects.

^* P < 0.05 DOLE treatment versus oxidant, analyzed by one-way ANOVA test of variance.
