Abstract excerpt
Bulky endogenous oxidative lesions (type II I-compounds) reflect DNA damage associated with oxidative stress. As shown by 32P-postlabeling, their levels are enhanced by pro-oxidant genotoxins and also shortly after normal birth in several rat tissues as a function of time and the maternal diet. In order to elucidate which dietary components contribute to postnatal DNA damage, we have focused, herein, on the...
