Abstract excerpt
The broad spectrum of oxidative DNA damage biomarkers [urinary excretion of 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OH-dGuo) and 8-hydroxyguanine (8-OH-Gua)] and the level of oxidative DNA damage and repair in leukocytes DNA were analyzed in three groups of subjects: (a) lung cancer patients [all smokers (n = 51)]; (b) healthy smokers with comparable smoking status (n = 26); and (c) healthy nonsmokers (n = 38). The mean...
