Urinary 8-OHdG: a marker of oxidative stress to DNA and a risk factor for cancer, atherosclerosis and diabetics

This study explores the role of urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) as a biomarker for oxidative stress and its association with increased risks of cancer, atherosclerosis, and diabetes. Elevated urinary 8-OHdG levels were observed in patients with various cancers, human atherosclerotic plaques, and diabetic individuals with hyperglycemia, highlighting its potential as a
