A Pilot Study for the LC-MS/MS Assessment of Oxidative DNA Damage in Relation to Antioxidant Usage


In this pilot study, the overall purpose is to establish the molecular basis for the
hypothesis that oxidative stress is a risk factor for cancer. This will be achieved by
establishing base line levels of oxidative DNA damage in a population of healthy individuals
before and after taking antioxidant and mineral supplements for 8 weeks.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Health male or female non-melanoma patients or volunteers

- 18 years or older with a life expectancy greater than 6 months

- Willing to provide pre and post blood samples to measure five DNA modifications in
white blood cells

- Willing to participate in a one tablet a day eight week supplement program and to
record the ingestion of the supplement on a participant calendar

- Must have never smoked or has not smoked for at least 6 months

- Informed of the investigational nature of the study, is able to provide informed
consent and has signed thee informed consent form

years.

failure, congestive heart failure, unstable coronary artery disease, uncontrolled
hypertension, poorly controlled diabetes mellitus, kidney and liver disease,severe
metabolic disorders and advanced cancer

- Patients not willing to comply with protocol requirements
