Example sentences for: ogg

How can you use “ogg” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • In this study, both the area and the intensity of Ogg1 staining were assessed.

  • We conclude that the expression of the DNA repair enzyme Ogg1 is up-regulated in islets from type 2 diabetic specimens.

  • We noted that the variability in the amount of Ogg1 staining is higher in the control group than in the samples from the diabetic patients.

  • However, the nuclear localization of 8-OH-dG [ 32 ] and the increased Ogg1 reported here are consistent with a model in which mitochondrial Ogg1 is up-regulated but nuclear Ogg1 is not, leading to an increase in nuclear but not mitochondrial 8-OH-dG adducts [ 32 ] . Further studies will be required to resolve this issue, but β-cells in type 2 diabetes may well suffer from both nuclear and mitochondrial DNA damage, leading to decreased β-cell function and eventual loss of β-cell mass.

  • βOgg1 is an alternatively spliced form of Ogg1 that contains a mitochondrial targeting signal in the C-terminal portion of the protein [ 41 ] . Specific upregulation of mitochondrial but not nuclear Ogg1 occurs during aging in rodents [ 42 ] . A specific increase of Ogg1 in islet cell mitochondria is consistent with the idea that increased β-cell mitochondrial oxidative metabolism due to hyperglycemia is a major factor behind the DNA damage.
