Protective effects of nitrendipine against pTZ57R DNA plasmid damage caused by Fenton reaction products. The pTZ57R DNA plasmid (1.4 μg) was incubated for 30 min with 0.003 % H2O2 in 0.01 mmol/L FeSO4 with no or 5, 10, 25, 50 or 100 µmol/L nitrendipine And electrophoresed following the standard procedure. NK – negative control
