Abstract excerpt
Oxidative DNA damage, caused by either endogenous or exogenous sources of reactive oxygen species (ROS), has been linked several diseases including Graves' disease (GD). 7,8-Dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) is a major lesion produced by ROS and is considered a key biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. In humans, 8-oxoG is mainly repaired by 8-oxoguanine DNA N-glycosylase-1 (hOGG1), which is an essential component of...
