Abstract excerpt
It was hypothesized that the presence of genetic polymorphisms that decrease activity of the detoxification enzymes glutathione-S-transferase (GST) and quinone oxido-reductase (NQO1) may contribute to heart disease and affect biomarkers of coronary health and oxidative stress. Sixty-seven patients with angiographically confirmed coronary heart disease (CHD) and 63 healthy controls were genotyped for polymorphisms...
