Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Excessive alcohol intake can result in the oxidative stress in cells and the genetic variations of alcohol-metabolizing enzymes are responsible for the different degrees of toxicity of alcohol in several organs, such as the liver and immunological systems. We hypothesized that the alteration of oxidative stress due to some genetic variations of oxidative stress-related enzymes could result in changes...
