Abstract excerpt
Peroxynitrite (ONOO(-)), a potent oxidant formed by the reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide anion, may play a significant role as an intermediate in NO(*)-related cytotoxicity and genotoxicity. In addition to causing other types of toxicity, peroxynitrite damages DNA and induces mutations in genetic targets following in vitro or in vivo exposure. It has recently been established that the reaction of CO(2)...
