Evaluation of DNA Single and Double Strand Breaks in Women with Cervical Neoplasia Based on Alkaline and Neutral Comet Assay Techniques

Table 1

DNA damage evaluated in alkaline conditions (ssb + dsb) and in neutral conditions (dsb) in women with LG-SIL and HG-SIL and in control women.

	Mean comet percentage ± SD (Range)
	Control	LG-SIL	HG-SIL
Global (ssb + dsb)	21.70±11.89 (8–46)	33.60±14.96 (9–64)	48.90±12.87 (34–72)*
dsb	5.30±5.38 (1–16)	11.20±5.71 (2–20)	23.50±13.91 (5–49)*

* ANOVA; Different to control 𝑃<0.05.
