Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is closely related to reactive oxygen species (ROS). Superoxide anion radicals, the main product of ROS, can be reduced by manganese superoxide dismutase (SOD2) to hydrogen peroxide, which is further reduced by catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) to water. We aimed to investigate the association between the most important genetic variants of SOD2, CAT,...
