Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Infectious diseases cause redox imbalance and oxidative stress (OS) in host. Superoxide Dismutases(SOD) decrease this OS. SOD2 gene polymorphism can influence the expression and levels of enzyme. AIM: To investigate the association of genetic polymorphism of MnSOD with enzyme levels and mRNA expression in TB patients. METHODS: A total of 87 TB patients and 85 healthy individuals participated in the...
