Abstract excerpt
Reactive oxygen species are considered to play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and its complications. 8-Oxoguanine, which is one of the major oxidation base lesions produced by reactive oxygen species, may cause G:C to T:A transversion mutations because it can mispair with adenine. hMTH1 (human mutT homolog 1), hOGG1 (human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase 1) and MUTYH (human mutY homolog)...
