Effect of α-LA, NAC and α-LA + NAC on chromosome breaks in cultured lymphocytes from FA mosaics/chimeras. Lymphocyte cultures were treated with 20 μM α-LA, 500 μM NAC, and both antioxidants simultaneously at the same concentrations. The results are presented as the relative mean of breaks per cell (percentage of control values). Comparison of the relative mean of breaks/cell was made between control group and each antioxidant treatment (*** P < 0.001 and **P < 0.01) and between treatments (P > 0.05). Results are representative of the mean of 3 experiments depicted from Table 2.
