Abstract excerpt
N7-Methylguanine (N7-MeG) DNA adducts are markers of human exposure to methylating agents including tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs). Repair of this adduct is poor, so levels in lung tissue should reflect variation in both intensity of exposure and in metabolism. N7-MeG adducts in lung DNA f...
