Article Synopsis
- Nucleotide excision repair (NER) is essential for fixing DNA damage from toxins, and a European study aimed to compile data on NER activity.
- The study analyzed NER activity from 738 individuals using blood samples, highlighting that females generally had higher NER activity than males, especially among older women.
- The findings also indicated that having a normal BMI correlated with higher NER activity, while smoking appeared to impact NER differently between sexes; however, the broader implications of varying NER levels for health remain uncertain.
