摘要: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) can oxidize cellular macromolecules like DNA, causing DNA damage. The most common form of damage is the 8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) lesion, typically repaired by base excision repair (BER) pathway, which initiated enzyme oxoguanine glycosylase 1 (OGG1). ROS are produced endogenously and be enhanced environmental factors, such as xenobiotics, radiation, microbial pathogens. As a commonly used biomarker oxidative damage, 8-oxoG measured in two different ways described herein. Commercially available ELISA kits allow for easy detection while more difficult HPLC assays with UV electrochemical definitive identification quantification 8-oxoG.
