We observed a statistically significant decrease in AVTDs corresponding to chromatin condensation in cells of 5 subjects (subjects 301, 302, 406, 606, and 607; Table 2) of I0 at the frequency of 915 MHz (p < 0.
Sperm nuclear chromatin integrity was assessed by the chromatin condensation assay using AO staining, and the DNA integrity was monitored under a fluorescent microscope.
Electron microscopic observations also supported the fact that cadmium induced apoptotic chromatin condensation at an early stage of exposure, followed by necrotic features of the cells, both of which were also inhibited by overexpression of bcl-2 proteins.
