Oxidative stress and DNA damage in Fischer rats following acute exposure to trichloroethylene or perchloroethylene.

abstract：:The aim of this study was to assess whether microwave-induced DNA damage is basal or it is also generated through reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation. After having irradiated Wistar rats with 915MHz microwave radiation, we assessed different DNA alterations in peripheral leukocytes using standard and formamidopyri...
