title: [The role of oxygen radicals formed during function of the membrane redox chain, in damage of nuclear DNA].
abstract: Nuclear DNA damage resulting from incubation of isolated rat liver nuclei in the presence of NADPH or NADH and ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid, or diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid, or desferoxamine complexes with Fe3+, has been studied. The degree of DNA damage was assessed by agarose electrophoresis. The observed damage was prevented by catalase but not superoxide dismutase. The mechanism of oxidative damage of nuclear DNA during membrane redox chains functioning is discussed.
