Nuclear and Mitochondrial DNA of Age-Related Cataract Patients Are Susceptible to Oxidative Damage
21 Jul 2016
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Reactive oxygen species caused by oxidative stress are considered as an important risk factor in the pathogenesis of age-related cataract (ARC). In addition, it has been shown that DNA damage has a potential role in the pathogenesis of cataract. In this study, background DNA damage, oxidative stress-induced DNA damage, and repair of nuclear and mitochondrial DNA of peripheral blood mononuclear cells...
