Figure 6

DNA damage and repair capacity in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of doxorubicin-treated animals. (A) Basal DNA damage evaluated in Comet Assay; (B) DNA repair capacity in blood cells after ex vivo treatment with tert-butyl hydroperoxide, followed by a repair period for 1 h or 2 h in the absence of the oxidizing agent. C: control (n = 8); D: doxorubicin-treated (n = 10); CT: control-trained (n = 8); DT: doxorubicin-trained (n = 8). Two-way ANOVA and Bonferroni’s post-hoc, standard error mean. **p < 0.01 above error bars in comparison to doxorubicin-trained group at same post-incubation period.
