Abstract excerpt
Iron-induced oxidative stress promotes hepatic injury in hereditary hemochromatosis, which can be influenced by genetic traits affecting antioxidant enzymes. We assessed the influence of Ala16Val-superoxide dismutase 2, Pro198Leu-glutathione peroxidase 1, and -463G/A-myeloperoxidase genotypes (hi...
