چکیده
exposure to air pollutants, steel dust or other occupational and environmental hazards as oxidative stress have adverse effects on subway workers' health. oxidative stress generates an excessive amount of reactive oxygen species (ros) and oxygen free radicals during their work time in the tunnels. once dna is repaired, urinary 8-hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-ohdg) is excreted in the urine. therefore, urinary level of 8-ohdg can reflect the extent of oxidative dna damage. the aim of this study was to document the oxidative stress caused by exposure to these hazards by measuring 8-ohdg in workers urine. we collected urine samples of 81 male subway workers after their working shift. the concentration of urinary 8-ohdg was measured by elisa method. we used linear regression analysis to compare the level of urinary 8-ohdg as a biomarker of oxidative stress between workers in tunnels and other staff. the mean concentration of urinary 8-ohdg for workers in the tunnel was 58.05 (sd=28.83) ng/mg creatinine and for another staff was 54.16 (sd =26.98) ng/mg creatinine. after adjustment for age, smoking, driving and a second job in a linear regression model, the concentration of 8-ohdg for the exposed group was significantly higher than unexposed group (p=0.038). these findings confirm that the concentration of urinary 8-ohdg for workers who work in tunnels was significantly higher than the other staff. additional investigations should be performed to understand that which ones of occupational exposures are more important to cause oxidative stress.

متن کاملUrinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine as a biological marker of in vivo oxidative DNA damage.
DNA is subject to constant oxidative damage from endogenous oxidants. The oxidized DNA is continuously repaired and the oxidized bases are excreted in the urine. A simple routine analytical procedure is described for urinary 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, an oxidative DNA damage adduct, as an indicator of oxidative damage in humans and rodents. This adduct was purified from human urine and charac...

Residual oil fly ash (ROFA) is a chemically complex mixture of compounds, including metals that are potentially carcinogenic because of their ability to cause oxidative injury. In this study, we investigated the association between exposure to particulate matter with an aerodynamic mass median diameter <or= 2.5 micro m (PM2.5) and oxidative DNA damage and repair, as indicated by urinary 8-hydro...
متن کاملOGG1 DNA Repair Gene Polymorphism As a Biomarker of Oxidative and Genotoxic DNA Damage
Background: Single nucleotide polymorphisms in 8-oxoguanine DNA glycosylase-1 (OGG1) gene modulates DNA repair capacity and functions as one of the first lines of protective mechanisms against 8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) mutagenicity. OGG1-Cys326 gene polymorphism may decrease DNA repair function, causing oxidative stress due to higher oxidative DNA damage. The main purpose of this stu...
متن کاملOxidative damage to DNA during aging: 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine in rat organ DNA and urine.
Oxidative damage to DNA is shown to be extensive and could be a major cause of the physiological changes associated with aging and the degenerative diseases related to aging such as cancer. The oxidized nucleoside, 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine (oh8dG), one of the approximately 20 known oxidative DNA damage products, has been measured in DNA isolated from various organs of Fischer 344 rats of dif...

This study assessed the relationships between ethylbenzene exposure and levels of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) among spray painters. Sixty-four male workers employed at a large shipyard were recruited for this investigation. Fifteen spray painters exposed to paint, together with two non-exposed groups, namely 19 sandblasting workers and 30 office staffs were selected as the subjects. Person...
