Dimethyl Sulfoxide Attenuates Radiation-Induced Testicular Injury through Facilitating DNA Double-Strand Break Repair

Figure 6

DMSO alleviates radiation-induced oxidative stress in vivo and in vitro. (a) Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels and (b) the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in the testis at 6 h post-IR were determined. (c) Representative flow cytometric analysis of ROS in GC-2 cells 12 h post-IR. (d) Quantification of percentages of the ROS-positive GC-2 cells. Error bars indicate (). , . Student’s -tests were used to determine statistical significance in (a), (b), and (d).
