Fig. 6

Effect 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. Cont control, MLT melatonin, IR irradiated
