Abstract excerpt
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a multifactorial disease associated with prematurity, intestinal hypoperfusion, dysbiosis, and oxidative stress. Interindividual variability in disease occurrence suggests a role for genetic susceptibility. Null genotypes of the GSTM1 and GSTT1 genes result in absent glutathione S-transferase activity and may impair antioxidant defenses. This study investigated whether GSTM1 and...
