Emulsions Made of Oils from Seeds of GM Flax Protect V79 Cells against Oxidative Stress

Figure 3

The influence of the tested emulsions in three different concentrations (0.5%, 1%, and 5%) on DNA damage in V79 cells exposed to H₂O₂ (100 μM, 30 min, 40°C). The contents of DNA in the comets’ heads (a) and the Olive tail moment (OTM) (b) were measured in 75 comets, randomly found under a fluorescence microscope. The control cultures (C) contained V79 cells incubated for 48 h without the tested emulsion and then exposed to H₂O₂. The results are presented as mean of 8 independent experiments ± SD. Statistical significance was calculated with -test for independent samples (, , and ).
