Table 2. The parameters of the comet assay for measurement of the DNA damage in SnO2 NPs and FA-SnO2 NPs treated SKOV3 cells compared with control cells.
| The tested cells | Tail Length (px) | %DNA in Tail | Tail Moment | Olive tail moment |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Control untreated SKOV3 cells | 10.25 ± 1.5 | 2.91 ± 0.5 | 0.213726 ± 0.08 | 0.42 ± 0.02 |
| SnO 2 NPs treated SKOV3 cells | 7.67± 1.8 | 7.39 ± 1.3** | 0.939902 ± 0.1** | 1.5 ± 0.05*** |
| FA-SnO 2 NPs treated SKOV3 cells | 11.87 ± 2.2 | 9.73 ± 2.3** | 1.442354 ± 0.09*** | 2.5 ± 0.2*** |
