Isotretinoin therapy induces DNA oxidative damage

Background: Isotretinoin (Iso) is currently indicated for the treatment of cystic acne (CA) and is related to marked teratogenicity.

Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the relationship between total antioxidant status (TAS) and a serum marker of DNA oxidative damage, 8-hydroxy-2-desoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), in patients on Iso treatment.

Patients and methods: Patients with CA (n=18) were evaluated before and 45 days after Iso (0.5mg/kg per day) treatment and non-diseased controls (n=22) were tested only once...

Keywords: cystic acne, DNA damage, free radicals, 8-hydroxy-2-desoxyguanosine (8-OhdG), isotretinoin
