NADH/NADPH oxidase <i>p22</i><i>phox</i> C242T polymorphism and coronary artery disease in the Australian population
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress induced by the superoxide anion (.O2-) has been implicated in atherogenesis. The NADH/NADPH oxidase system is involved in.O2- production and p22 phox is an essential component of that system. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analysed the p22 phox C242T polymorphism in 689 consecutive Australian Caucasians aged </= 65 years with and without angiographically documented coronary artery disease...
