Oxidative Damage to Nucleic Acids and Benzo(a)pyrene-7,8-diol-9,10-epoxide-DNA Adducts and Chromosomal Aberration in Children with Psoriasis Repeatedly Exposed to Crude Coal Tar Ointment and UV Radiation

Figure 1

Distribution of values of oxidative damage of DNA and RNA. The oxidative damage of DNA/RNA is presented as the sum of three oxidized guanine species per mL of serum. Scatter plot depicts anti-BPDE-DNA values before and after the GT therapy. All together 19 dots represent 38 measurements; each dot belongs to a one patient. The top histogram shows data distribution before treatment; the right side histogram corresponds to the posttreatment values distribution. The white zones represent nonsmokers data, and the black zones depict smokers’ ones. NA: statistically not available.
