Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Oxidative stress and impaired anti-oxidant defense are regarded as contributory factors for distal symmetric polyneuropathy (DSPN). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the plasma level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and the association between polymorphic variants in genes encoding for GPx1, SOD, CAT and the risk of DSPN in T2DM patients....
