Increased amounts of 8-oxodG in blood and in tissue macrophages ( and inhibited by superoxide provide evidence of oxidative stress in IBD. 2. Since 8-oxodG is a dismutase ) neither superoxide dismutase nor promutagenic DNA lesion, increased production of this in IBD may play catalase prevent tissue destruction.
