Modulation by flavonoids of DNA damage induced by estrogen‐like compounds

Abstract excerpt

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced by a wide variety of exogenous chemicals and metabolic processes and cause a broad spectrum of damage to biological systems. As a consequence, ROS react with DNA, among many other biological targets, disrupting its structure and functionality. Estrogen-like compounds mediate DNA damage by ROS generation, implying that their effects can be modulated by antioxidants such...
