Abstract excerpt
Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (SCAD), encoded by the Acads gene, functions in the mitochondrial β-oxidation of saturated short-chain fatty acids. SCAD deficiency results in mitochondrial dysfunction, which is one underlying biological mechanism of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) pathogenesis. In this case-control study, we aimed to examine the effects of Acads gene polymorphisms on the...
