Oxidative DNA modifications such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) are generated endogenously in apparently all living cells. The defect of the repair of 8-oxoG in Csb(m/m)Ogg1(-)(/)(-) mice results in elevated basal levels of these lesions and increased frequencies of spontaneous mutations, which initiate tumorigenesis in the liver if cell proliferation is stimulated. Here, we describe that the phytoalexin resveratrol, applied either for 7 days per gavage (100 mg/kg body wt) or for 3-9 mo...Oxidative DNA modifications such as 7,8-dihydro-8-oxoguanine (8-oxoG) are generated endogenously in apparently all living cells.

Here, we describe that the phytoalexin resveratrol, applied either for 7 days per gavage (100 mg/kg body wt) or for 3-9 months in the diet (0.04% ad libitum), reduces the endogenous oxidative DNA base damage in the livers of the Csb(m/m)Ogg1(-)(/)(-) mice by 20-30% (P » weiterlesen» einklappen
