Oxidative DNA damage in digestive gland of mussel Perna perna as indicator of environmental stress

In this work, the levels of DNA damage (8-oxo-7,8-dihidro-2’-desoxiguanosina, 8-oxodGuo) were evaluated in digestive glands of mussels exposed to different metals for 24 hours, as well as in coastal and farmed mussels. These experiments were carried out in order to evaluate the influence of uncontro...
