Abstract:
The aim of this article is to describe the current level of knowledge about the relationship between overweight and genomic instability. The relationship between overweight / obesity and cancer has been well studied in numerous studies. A feature of overweight and obesity is the formation of reactive oxygen species and cytokines, which lead to damage to the genetic material of the cell. The review article analyzes literary sources, which condemn the data on the methods used in research concerning the links between genomic instability and obesity. Analyzed studies on the stability of DNA in humans and animals with overweight and obesity.

Nucleotide Excision Repair
Cells are regularly exposed to mutagens—factors in the environment that can damage DNA and generate mutations. UV radiation is one of the most common mutagens and is estimated to introduce a significant number of changes in DNA. These include bends or kinks in the structure, which can block DNA replication or transcription. If these errors are not fixed, the damage can cause mutations, which in turn can result in cancer or disease depending on which sequences are...
