We assessed a relationship between the level of 8-oxodG in leukocyte DNA measured with the high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC/EC) technique and urinary excretion of the modified nucleoside/base analysed with a recently developed methodology involving HPLC prepurification followed by gas chromatography with isotope dilution mass spectrometric detection. No correlation was found between these markers of oxidative DNA damage commonly used in epidemiological studies. Several possible explanations of this finding are discussed.
