Introduction: Obesity does constitute one of the most common modifiable risk factors for cancer. The process of cancerogenesis is associated with the enhanced oxidative stress. Lipid peroxidation (LPO), resulting from oxidative damage to membrane lipids, as well as oxidative damage to DNA, are the most frequently examined processes to evaluate oxidative damage to macromolecules.Aim: The aim of the study was to evaluate the level of oxidative damage to me...
