The goal of this research was to determine whether antioxidant usage could be correlated with changes in DNA damage levels. Liquid Chromatography-tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was used to simultaneously measure five different oxidatively-induced base modifications in the DNA of WBC. Measurements of the five modifications were made before and after an 8-week trial during which participants took the SU.VI.MAX supplement. Levels of the five DNA modifications were compared among different groupings: users versus non-users of antioxidant supplements, before versus after the supplement intervention and men versus women. The statistical significance of differences between groups was most significant for pyrimidine base modifications and the observed trends reflect trends reported in epidemiological studies of antioxidant usage. A combination of modifications derived from pyrimidine bases is suggested as a superior indicator of oxidative stress.
本研究旨在确定抗氧化剂的使用是否与 DNA 损伤水平的变化相关。采用液相色谱-串联质谱法(LC-MS/MS)同时测量白细胞 DNA 中五种不同的氧化诱导碱基修饰。在为期 8 周的试验中,参与者服用 SU.VI.MAX 补充剂前后,分别测量了这五种修饰物。在不同的分组中比较了这五种 DNA 修饰物的水平:抗氧化补充剂的使用者与非使用者、补充剂干预前后以及男性与女性。组间差异的统计学意义在嘧啶碱基修饰物中最为显著,观察到的趋势反映了抗氧化剂使用的流行病学研究报告的趋势。来自嘧啶碱基的修饰物的组合被建议作为氧化应激的更好指标。
