“…The positive effect of RO administration was proved by the decrease of H 2 O 2 -or DMNQ-induced oxidative DNA damage in TCs isolated from rats watered with RO, but no significant changes were found in the activity of the most important antioxidant enzymes, superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase. A similar effect was seen after exposure of lung cells to secondary metabolites produced by fungi; the DNA damage was increased but no significant changes were detected in the activity of antioxidant enzymes (Kováčiková et al, 2010). On the contrary, after exposure of rats to cigarette smoke, both DNA damage and activities of antioxidants were significantly changed both in lung and isolated pneumocytes (Kováčiková et al, 2006).…”
