Correlating blood levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine to hOGG1 genotypes and the incidence of ischemic cardiomyopathy
Abstract We measured the serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and investigated whether these levels correlate with incidence of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), and whether these levels correlate with underlying oxidative stress in patients with ICM. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction f...

Summary: | Abstract We measured the serum levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and investigated whether these levels correlate with incidence of ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM), and whether these levels correlate with underlying oxidative stress in patients with ICM. Polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis was performed to assess the prevalence of the Ser/Cys polymorphism in the human 8-oxoguanine glycosylase ( hOGG1 ) gene. We analyzed the samples from 246 ICM cases (the ICM group) and another 246 age- and sex-matched volunteers with normal coronary artery function (the control group). Levels of 8-OHdG in participants' blood samples were 6.7 ± 1.7 and 3.0 ± 0.8 in the ICM and control groups, respectively ( p |
