Figure 1

Scheme of the experiment. Male Swiss albino mice (n=240) were divided into 12 groups (control; 1 or 2 Gy irradiated; exposed to only halothane, sevoflurane or isoflurane; exposed to a combination of 1 or 2 Gy and either halothane, sevoflurane or isoflurane) and further each group was divided into 4 subgroups (according to the liver sampling time after the exposure- 0, 2, 6 and 24 hours) with 5 animals in each subgroup. Alkaline Comet assay was used for DNA damage and cellular repair index assessment

Tail length values in liver cells of non-irradiated male Swiss albino mice anaesthetised solely with halothane (H), sevoflurane (S) or isoflurane (I). Samples taken immediately after (0 h), 2, 6 or 24 h after treatment were analysed from five animals per group for 200 comets. C-control. Samples were compared to control 0 h (C 0h), statistical differences (*) were analysed with the Mann-Whitney U test. The values represented here are mean (square), median (triangle), and standard deviation (SD, range)
