Abstract excerpt
In the present study we used AOPPs and AGE as early markers of oxidative stress in refinery oil workers. In addition we evaluated whether a genetically determined reduction in the ability to detoxify electrophilic compounds, such as that expected among individuals with glutathione S-transferase (GST) null genotypes might influence the levels of AOPPs thus increasing toxicity. The study was performed on 25 oil...
