Average of DNA fragmentation stained by the FragEL-Klenow DNA fragmentation detection kit in muscle cells of non-patients with FM (Subjects) and healthy controls (Control)

Subject				Control
No	Fragmentation	Nuclei	Percentage	No	Fragmentation	Nuclei	Percentage
The total number of counted nuclei (Nuclei) and the percentage are given. Statistical differences between subjects with FM and controls are calculated by the Mann-Whitney test. Means (standard errors of the mean) are given.
