Abstract excerpt
Increased oxidative stress has been observed to contribute the development of insulin resistance. Oxidative stress is known to increase the conversion of deoxyguanosine (dG) to 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase (hOGG1) is the key component responsible for the removal of 8-OHdG from oxidatively damaged DNA. The repair activity of the hOGG1 Ser326Cys gene variant has been...
