Genetic variation and gene expression in antioxidant related enzymes and risk of COPD: a systematic review
20 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Observational epidemiological studies of dietary antioxidant intake, serum antioxidant concentration and lung outcomes suggest that lower levels of antioxidant defences are associated with decreased lung function. Another approach to understanding the role of oxidant/antioxidant imbalance in the risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is to investigate the role of genetic variation in...
