Gel electrophoresis of DNA was used for estimation of DNA changes caused in C6 glioma cells by treatment with psychotropic drugs (imipramine, amitryptiline and fluoxetine). Some discrete bands containing a population of short DNA fragments appeared after 1 and 5 days of cultivation. Apoptotic DNA breaks were verified at single cell level using the TUNEL test in cells treated with fluoxetine.
