Antigenotoxic effects of quercetin, rutin and ursolic acid on HepG2 cells : evaluation by the comet assay

In the present study, the chemoprotective effects of quercetin, rutin and ursolic acid on tert-butyl hydroperoxide (t-BHP)-induced DNA damage in a human hepatoma cell line (HepG2) were investigated by the comet assay. To determine whether protection was due to direct chemical interactions alone or t...
