Effect of Noni Juice on Lipid Peroxidation-derived DNA Adducts in Heavy Smokers
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study was to determine if noni juice reduces lipid hydroperoxide (LOOH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) derived-DNA adducts, markers of oxidative DNA damage, in peripheral blood lymphocytes of cigarette smokers.
