环境细颗粒物小鼠组织中三种 DNA 损伤的质谱定量及水平评价

Overview

This article presents methods for the sensitive and accurate quantification of DNA lesions caused by oxidative stress, specifically 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine and etheno adducts. The techniques were applied to assess the impact of ambient fine particulate matter (PM 2.5) on various tissues in A/J mice.
