Abstract
High iron consumption is associated with an increased risk of cancer possibly via production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) which in turn induces oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. The aim of the study was to determine whether Fe-NT A causes DNA damage and targets TP 53 in human peripheral lymphocytes. (omitted)
