Abstract excerpt
Dietary antioxidants may protect lung tissue against reactive oxygen species-induced injury, adverse respiratory effects and reduced pulmonary function. Genetic variability in antioxidant enzymes also determines response to oxidative stress in the lung. The current authors evaluated whether lung function levels are associated with dietary intake of antioxidants and the glutathione S-transferase M1 (GSTM1)...
