It results in oxidative nuclear and mitochondrial DNA damage which is implicated in the pathogenesis of a wide variety of diseases. During oxidative stress in mammalian cells, one of the most potentially oxidized mutagenic DNA lesions formed upon DNA repair is 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a frequently detected nucleoside repair product. Numerous evidences reported significant elevated levels of 8-OHdG in many conditions, including cancer, diabetes mellitus and cancer radio-chemotherapy. Moreover, its level is positively correlated with the severity of diabetic micro- and macro-vascular complications suggesting 8-OHdG as a novel and pivotal biomarker in the assessment of various conditions related to generalized, cellular oxidative stress and oxidative DNA damage.Book Chapter
