Abstract excerpt
I-compounds are species-, tissue-, genotype-, gender-, and diet-dependent bulky DNA modifications whose levels increase with animal age. While a few of these DNA modifications represent oxidation products, the majority of I-compounds appear to be derived from as yet unidentified endogenous DNA-reactive intermediates other than reactive oxygen species. Circadian rhythms of certain I-compounds in rodent liver imply...
