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

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

8-Hydroxy-2-Deoxyguanosine Levels and Cardiovascular Disease: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of the Literature

This meta-analysis examined the association between 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels and cardiovascular disease (CVD), analyzing 14 studies with 810 CVD patients and 1,106 controls. Results showed significantly higher 8-OHdG levels in CVD patients compared to controls (standard mean difference: 1.04, 95% CI: 0.61–1.47, p < 0.001), with elevated levels observed in

Potential application of the oxidative nucleic acid damage biomarkers in detection of diseases

This review explores the role of oxidative nucleic acid damage biomarkers, specifically 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodG) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydroguanosine (8-oxoG), in disease detection and drug development. Elevated levels of these biomarkers, found at 1.3 to 5 times higher in patients than controls, have been linked to various diseases, including cancer, neurodegenerative disorders, and

Occupational and lifestyle factors and urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine

This observational study examined the impact of occupational and lifestyle factors on urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels, a biomarker of oxidative DNA damage. Findings indicated that individuals with specific occupational exposures to hazardous substances or certain lifestyle behaviors exhibited higher 8-OHdG concentrations, suggesting increased oxidative stress. Monitoring urinary 8-OHdG provides a

Effect of age, smoking and other lifestyle factors on urinary 7-methylguanine and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine

This observational study examined the effects of age, smoking, and other lifestyle factors on urinary levels of 7-methylguanine (m7G) and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), biomarkers of DNA methylation and oxidative DNA damage, respectively. Analyzing 215 healthy Japanese individuals, the study found that current smokers exhibited significantly higher urinary m7G levels (p <

Oxidative stress biomarkers and lifestyles in Japanese healthy people

This observational study investigated the relationship between lifestyle factors and oxidative stress biomarkers in 135 healthy Japanese adults aged 20 to 69 years. The findings showed that smokers had significantly higher urinary 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) levels (p < 0.05), indicating increased oxidative DNA damage, while individuals who engaged in regular physical
