Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of diabetic nephropathy. The superoxide dismutase (SOD) enzymes play a major role in detoxification of reactive oxygen species and have a protective effect against diabetic nephropathy. We investigated associations of allelic variations in SOD1 gene with nephropathy in patients with type 1 diabetes. METHODS: Seven SNPs in SOD1 region were analyzed in...
