Abstract
⺠RNA oxidation is more abundant than DNA oxidation. ⺠High levels of oxidized RNA are found in degenerative brain diseases. ⺠General RNA oxidation is measured by 8-oxoGuo excretion into urine. ⺠General RNA oxidation predicts death in type 2 diabetes. ⺠RNA may be a novel and important mechanism of diseases such as diabetes, degenerative brain diseases, and hemochromatosis.
