Abstract excerpt
It is well known that oxidative stress plays critical roles in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis. In this study, we enrolled 1746 type 2 diabetic subjects, determined 4 common genetic variants related to oxidative stress (glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit (GCLM) C-588T, myeloperoxidase G-463A, human paraoxonase 1 Gln192Arg and NAD(P)H oxidase p22phox C242T polymorphisms), and measured carotid...
