Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Toluene diisocyanate (TDI) causes occupational asthma by generating oxidative stress, leading to tissue injury and inflammation. Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are detoxifying enzymes that eliminate oxidative stress. We examined whether the genotypes of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes are associated with TDI-induced occupational asthma (TDI-OA). METHODS: The study population consisted of 26 asthmatics with...
