DNA AD FREE RADICALS: TECHNIQUES, MECHANISMS AND APPLICATIONS
Excepts of foreword by Professor Anthony T Diplock
"The detection, quantitation and biological significance of oxidative damage to DNA has become a crucial endeavour in the efforts that are at present being made to assess the significance of such events to the long process that eventually leads to cancer in human subjects. This book is a treasury of vital information which must commend itself both to the specialist, as well as to the generalist, who need to be brought up to date in this rapidly moving and highly exciting area of research which has such important implications for mankind".
