Fig. 6From: Utility of melatonin in mitigating ionizing radiation-induced testis injury through synergistic interdependence of its biological propertiesEffect of melatonin (MLT) and irradiation (IR) on the percentage of DNA damage in the testes of rats in different groups using the comet assay technique. A The appearance of the microscopic images of representative comets for the different groups is shown. B Percentage of tail DNA, C tail length, and D tail moment. The values are expressed as the means ± SEM (n = 5). ** Highly significant at P < 0.01. ***, ###, %%%, @@@ Very Highly significant at P < 0.001. **& *** Significant as compared with the control 3 days group. ### Significant as compared with the control 14 days group. %%% Significant as compared with the IR 3 days group. @@@ Significant as compared with the IR 14 days group.
