Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The association between the polymorphisms of three different antioxidative enzyme - catalase, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/ Zn-SOD) and extracellular superoxide dismutase (EC-SOD) - genes and macroangiopathy was examined in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The prevalence of the missense Glu298Asp variant of the endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) gene and its association with...
