Abstract excerpt
The NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) enzyme is implicated in protection against oxidative stress and carcinogenesis. NQO1 C609T genetic polymorphism was reported to be associated with an increased risk for cancers, including breast cancer. However, there is still lack of evidence whether higher oxidative stress occurs in breast tissues of patients with NQO1 609 C/T and/or T/T genotypes. Mitochondrial DNA...
