Figure 2From: Anticancer effect of black tea extract in human cancer cell lines Effects of BTE on the DNA damage (%) in HT-29 (a) and MCF-7 (b) cells after 24 h treatment. DNA damage was represented by DNA strand breaks (without Fpg) and as the total DNA damage (with Fpg). Each value represents the arithmetic mean ± SD of three separate experiments (n = 3): * < 0.05 when compared with controls (HT-29 or MCF-7 cells without BTE). Maximal DNA damage (100%) for 100 comets was considered the DNA damage (TD) with the maximal score (400).Back to article page
