Urine Biomarkers of Risk in the Molecular Etiology of Breast Cancer
Endogenous estrogens can be bio-activated to endogenous carcinogens via formation of estrogen quinones. Estrogen-3,4-quinones react with DNA to form mutagenic depurinating estrogen-DNA adducts.

Flanking bases influence the nature of DNA distortion by platinum 1,2-intrastrand (GG) cross-links. [PDF]
The differences in efficacy and molecular mechanisms of platinum anti-cancer drugs cisplatin (CP) and oxaliplatin (OX) are thought to be partially due to the differences in the DNA conformations of the CP and OX adducts that form on adjacent guanines on ...

Sperm DNA adducts impair fertilization during ICSI but not during IVF.
Many studies emphasize the influence of the status of spermatozoal nucleus on fertilization, mainly with regard to DNA fragmentation. This study was undertaken to analyze the influence of DNA adducts content in spermatozoa on fertilization during ...
