Oxidative Damage to DNA of Ovarian Surface Epithelial Cells Affected by Ovulation: Carcinogenic Implication and Chemoprevention
1 Jun 2004
Abstract excerpt
The majority of cancers of the ovary are thought to originate from a surface epithelial cell perturbed by ovulation. Outgrowth of a follicle destined to ovulate brings it into apposition with the ovarian epithelium. Ovarian surface cells are consequently exposed, within a limited diffusion radius, to inflammatory agents and reactive oxidants generated during periovulatory processes. Cells that overlie the...
