Gene expression profiling reveals new protective roles for vitamin C in human skin cells.
Description :
The skin is a protective barrier against external insults and any lesion must be rapidly and efficiently repaired. Dermal fibroblasts are the major source of extracellular connective tissue matrix and play an important role in wound healing. Vitamin C is an important water-soluble free radical scave...

Description :
Urinary 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo) is widely used as a marker of oxidative stress. Here we report the comparison of two, distinct chromatographic assays with an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The chromatographic assays displayed good agreement (r =:0.89, p < 0.0001),...

Phenotyping for DNA repair capacity.
Description :
The ability to repair DNA damage is strongly associated with the risk of cancer and other human diseases as it is essential for maintenance of genome stability. Moreover, DNA repair capacity is an important factor contributing to the inter-individual variability in mutagen exposure, cancer developme...

Description :
OBJECTIVES: There is some evidence that dietary components that are rich in antioxidant and vitamins are inversely associated with DNA adduct levels induced by environmental carcinogens such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, although the epidemiologic data are inconsistent. This study addresses t...
