Kütle spektrometresi ile üç DNA lezyonlarının ölçülmesi ve ortam Ince partikül madde maruz fareler dokularda düzeylerinin değerlendirilmesi

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.
