Abstract

AbstractA possible DNA damage after interaction of kainic acid (KA) with calf thymus double stranded DNA and genomic DNA was herein determined in in vitro and in vivo conditions using; electrochemical assay and agarose gel electrophoresis. The changes in guanine signal were detected as an indicator of DNA damage in genomic DNA samples isolated from 1 or 10 mg/kg KA‐treated animals. The decreased levels of guanine signal were found as 29% and 33% by 1 and 10 mg/kg KA treatment when compared to controls, respectively. The results of gel electrophoresis confirmed DNA damage obtained in identical samples by electrochemical method.
