Plasma antioxidants are associated with impaired lung function and COPD exacerbations in smokers.

COPD - 1 Aug 2011

Nicks Michael E, O'Brien Maureen M, Bowler Russell P

Abstract excerpt

Low molecule weight antioxidants such as uric acid (UA), glutathione (GSH), and ascorbate (ASC) counter the effects of oxidants produced by cigarette smoke. Although dietary intake of foods rich in antioxidants has been associated with a reduced risk of smokers developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the association between plasma antioxidants and COPD is less clear. In this cross-sectional study...
