Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Guo-dong Zhou"
- Guo-dong Zhou's research primarily investigates the mechanisms of DNA damage and repair related to oxidative stress and the effects of environmental carcinogens, focusing on how certain proteins, such as NADPH quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1) and Pregnane X receptor (PXR), influence cellular responses to harmful agents.
- A significant portion of his work emphasizes the interplay between dietary factors, such as fish oil's ability to reduce carcinogenic polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH)-DNA adduct levels, and the prevention of drug-induced genetic damage in liver cells, suggesting potential dietary interventions for cancer prevention.
- Zhou has also explored the health impacts of environmental pollutants, using biomonitoring techniques in aquatic species to assess exposure effects, particularly in urban waterways, which reveal crucial insights into public health risks associated with chemical contaminants.
