Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Prostate cancer (Pca) disease burden is highest among male blacks. Oxidative stress due to hemoglobin-related oxygen reactive species is a risk factor for cancer development. The polymorphic haptoglobin (Hp) protein inhibits hemoglobin-related oxidative stress. The antioxidant capacity of Hp is genetically determined. We studied the effect of Hp polymorphism on susceptibility to Pca. SUBJECTS AND...
