Production of 8-oxo-dG by H2O2 or LOOH in HepG2 cells

Pretreatment with Oxidant (100 µmol/L)
Vehicle H2O2 LOOH
Produced number of 8-oxo-dG per 105 dG1
None 0.08 ± 0.04a 0.38 ± 0.15b 0.23 ± 0.12a,b,c,d
Mercaptosuccinate2 0.11 ± 0.03a,c 0.34 ± 0.11b,d 0.61 ± 0.04e

1Values are mean ± SD (n = 6) and different letters indicate statistically significant differences (p<0.05) in the same line. 2HepG2 cells were pre-incubated with 500 µmol/L mercaptosuccinate and then were exposed to H2O2 or LOOH.
