The level of oxidative DNA damage as measured by oh8dG in normal rat liver is shown to be extensive (1/130 000 bases in nuclear DNA and 1/8000 bases in mitochondrial DNA), especially in mtDNA. The methylatio adduct 7-methylguanine (m7G) has also been found. m7G is one of about 5 adducts found on methylating DNA, and oh8dG is one of about 20 adducts found on oxidizing DNA, e.g., by radiation. We also discuss 3 hitherto unrecognized antioxidants in man.
