9 Oct 2006
Abstract excerpt
Infection by Helicobacter pylori is the most important risk factor for gastric cancer. However, only a small fraction of colonized individuals, representing at least half of the world's population, develop this malignancy. In order to shed light on host-microbial interactions, gastric mucosa biopsies were collected from 119 patients suffering from dyspeptic symptoms. 8-Hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) levels...
