Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Ischemia-reperfusion injury and inflammation in cardiac surgical patients involves complex humoral and cellular interactions. We investigated the effect of genetic polymorphism of manganase superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) a natural antioxidant, on cytokine release and manganesuperoxide dismutase in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). PATIENTS AND...
