Popis: The increased oxidative stress in diabetes is known to contribute to the development of diabetes. We investigate whether serum 8-hydro-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-oxo-dG) is associated with diabetes at the time of first diagnosis and evaluate whether it can be used as a reliable biomarker for the oxidative stress in diabetes. The study was designed as a case control study with two groups: patient with diabetes and control. The diabetes group consisted of a total of 28 patients consulting the hospital for the first time and definitely diagnosed for diabetes, and the control group was composed of 65 healthy subjects. Serum 8-oxo-dG was measured by a competitive enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit, specially developed to minimize cross-reaction of 8-oxo-dG antibody with serum guanosine. The average serum 8-oxo-dG levels in patients with diabetes and controls were 0.72 ± 0.41 and 0.24 ± 0.14 ng/mL, respectively, statistically significant (p
