Pathophysiological Role of Peroxynitrite Induced DNA Damage in Human Diseases: A Special Focus on Poly(ADP-ribose) Polymerase (PARP)
This 2015 review by Islam et al. examines the detrimental effects of peroxynitrite-induced DNA damage and the subsequent activation of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) in various human diseases. Peroxynitrite, formed by the reaction of nitric oxide with superoxide radicals, can cause DNA strand breaks, leading to the overactivation of PARP. This
