Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: Myeloperoxidase (MPO), an abundant leukocyte hemoprotein has been linked to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. We previously found new genetic polymorphisms in MPO gene. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influences of these polymorphisms on human neutrophil MPO activity by means of haplotype analysis. METHODS AND RESULTS: Neutrophils from 102 blood donors were isolated and MPO...
