Standard and Fpg-modified comet assay in kidney cells of ochratoxin A- and fumonisin B(1)-treated rats.
The effect of ochratoxin A (OTA), fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)), and their combinations on DNA damage was studied using the standard alkaline comet assay and the Fpg-modified comet assay. Rats were orally… Expand
