Oxidative Damage to Nucleic Acids and Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide-DNA Adducts and Chromosomal Aberration in Children with Psoriasis Repeatedly Exposed to Crude Coal Tar Ointment and UV Radiation

Figure 2

Distribution of values of BPDE-DNA adducts. The levels are expressed as ng of BPDE-DNA adducts per μg of DNA. Scatter plot depicts BPDE-DNA values before and after the GT therapy. All together 14 dots represent 28 measurements; each dot belongs to a one patient. The top histogram shows data distribution before treatment; the right side histogram corresponds to the posttreatment values distribution. The white zones represent nonsmokers data, and the black zones depict smokers’ ones. NA: statistically not available.
