Abstract excerpt
UNLABELLED: Objectives In bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), direct exposure to oxygen therapy can damage the pulmonary epithelium via oxidative stress. The NAD(P)H: quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) enzyme detoxifies genotoxic products of oxidative stress. The corresponding gene is subject to an inactivating single-nucleotide polymorphism (C(609)T), which reduces detoxifying ability. The aim of this study was to...
