## Abstract Within the central nervous system (CNS), there is a differential susceptibility among cell types to certain pathological conditions believed to involve oxidative stress. Oligodendrocytes are extremely sensitive to oxidative stress, which correlates with a decreased ability to repair dam

โฆ Synopsis
Electrochemical oxidation of DNA can occur at each of the four bases and guanine is the one that can suffer the easiest oxidative damage. The occurrence of the guanine oxidation product, 8-oxoguanine, as a consequence of DNA damage caused by DNA oxidation causes important mutagenic lesions and hence it is very important to develop reliable methods for its quantiยฎcation. Electrochemical study of the mechanism of oxidation of 8-oxoguanine on glassy carbon shows that it is a reversible electrode process, pH dependent, and involves several reaction products. Electroanalytical determinations of 8-oxoguanine were carried out and the detection limit was 8610 77 M.
