Effects of abusive storage conditions were studied with the single-cell gel electrophoresis test by detecting DNA damage to the thighs and breasts (comet assay). Twenty frozen thigh and breast meat samples were taken from the local market of Baghdad city, and divided equally ten samples for each, and examined in triplicate in the experiment. The DNA damage index design, integrating the distribution of mean tail moments between two groups, in the present study took the DNA in head and tail parameters that provided values significantly different, which allowed more precise discrimination between samples according to the lousy condition storage levels. Breast cells were more sensitive to abusive conditions than thigh muscle cells. In conclusion, the DNA in the head was high significantly in the thigh meat samples more than breast meat samples, whereas the tail moment shows an increase in the breast meat significantly more than thigh meat samples. |
