Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The haptoglobin (Hp) 2-2 phenotype has been known to have less antioxidative activity than Hp 1-1 and Hp 2-1. However, few have reported the relationship between oxidative stress and Hp phenotypes by using oxidized LDL. The relationship between Hp phenotypes and oxidative stress was therefore investigated in healthy adults. METHODS: The serum Hp concentrations, albumin, uric acid, iron, L-ascorbic...
