Data on white blood cell aromatic-DNA adducts by 32P-post- labelling and glutathione (GSH) in red blood cells were available from a subset of cases and controls. Compared with the first quartile, the fourth quartile of recreational physical activity was associated with a lower lung cancer risk (odds ratio (OR) 0.56, 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.350.90), higher GSH levels (1.87 μmol GSH g-1 haemoglobin, p 0.04) but not with the presence of high levels of adducts (OR 1.05, 95% CI 0.382.86). Despite being associated with recreational physical activity, in these small-scale pilot analyses GSH levels were not associated with lung cancer risk (OR 0.95, 95% CI 0.841.07 per unit increase in GSH levels). Household and occupational activity was not associated with lung cancer risk or biomarker levels. © 2010 Informa UK Ltd. ER -
