“…Different African populations showed dramatically different frequencies, such as 4% in one African study compared with 98.7% for Nigerians. A different Euro-Brazilian population, studied by Luperini et al (2015), showed a frequency (41.1%) consistent with that observed in our study.…”

“…Taken together, the results of the present research indicate that obesity reduction, due to exercise, alleviates DNA damage. Our results are supported by Luperini et al, who reported obesity as a cause of DNA damage, based on significantly high levels of DNA strand breaks and oxidized purines and pyrimidines in morbidly obese females compared with that in eutrophic females 17 ) . Additionally, Karaman et al, suggested that comet-tail length had positive correlations with waist circumference and BMI 18 ) .…”

“…Mutations are known to result from oxidative stress which produces reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) and other types of metabolites that cause DNA double strand breaks and other lesions [35]. Obesity leads to increased DNA damage and reduced DNA repair in both animal model systems and humans [36, 37]. In obesity-associated inflammation, activated myeloid cells appear to be a major source of ROS [38].…”
