8-OHdG ELISA kits are designed for the specific detection of the biomarker 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine in biological samples, such as plasma, serum, culture extracts, and cell lysates. 8-OHdG, also known as 8-Hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, serves as a widely recognized biomarker for oxidative DNA damage, particularly in conditions associated with elevated oxidative stress such as cancer, atherosclerosis, hypertension, and diabetes. 8-OHdG is an oxidized derivative of guanosine and can be detected in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA. 8-OHdG is generated after the repair of ROS-mediated DNA damages.
