Active and passive smoking and lifestyle determinants of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine levels in human leukocyte DNA
This observational study examined the impact of active and passive smoking on oxidative DNA damage by measuring 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) levels in leukocyte DNA. Findings revealed that active smokers exhibited significantly higher oxidative DNA damage compared to non-smokers, while passive smokers also had elevated levels, though to a lesser extent. Other
