Measuring DNA Damage and Repair in Mouse Splenocytes After Chronic In Vivo Exposure to Very Low Doses of Beta- and Gamma-Radiation
Published on: July 3, 2015
Abstract:
The effect of feeding mice on a diet containing freshly irradiated wheat on the frequency of sister-chromatid exchange (SCE) was investigated and compared to controls fed diets containing unirradiated wheat. Mice given freshly irradiated wheat showed a mean SCE of 4.15 +/- 0.74 S.E.M., which was not significantly different from that of 3.88 +/- 0.92 seen in controls. Furthermore, chromosomes from mice fed freshly irradiated wheat were not observed to be more susceptible to the damage caused by mitomycin-C as measured by the extent of SCE induction.

Meiosis II
The timing and cell division patterns of meiosis differ between males and females. In male meiosis, the centrosomes are part of the formation of the meiotic spindle. However, in oocytes, including that of humans, Drosophila,...
