Abstract excerpt
Myeloperoxidase is a lysosomal enzyme of polymorphonuclear leucocytes that contributes to inflammatory responses. In previous studies it was shown that MPO was synthesized in atherosclerotic lesions responsible of lipoprotein oxidations. We aimed to determine the MPO -463 G/A gene polymorphism distribution in Turkish population and evaluate the effects of it on myeloperoxidase levels. There were 100 myocardial...
