Abstract;Amounts of DNA strand breaks were estimated by the proportion of cells without tails(PCWT) and the average lengths of tail momentum(ALTM) in comet images of tissue cells of senescence-accelerated prone(SAMP1) mouse and senescence-accelerated resistant(SAMR1) mouse. The PCWT and ALTM of brain cells from SAMR1 were unchanged from 4 to 15 months of age. In the case of SAMP1 brain cells, the PCWT decreased and the ALTM increased in an age-related manner from 8 to 15 months of age. In the cases of liver and kidney, the PCWT and the ALTM of both SAMP1 and SAMR1 cells showed constant values from 4 to 15 months of ages. (author abst.)
