Oxidative stress and antioxidant enzyme activity in S outh I ndian male smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Several theories have been put forth to explain the aetiology of COPD. In the present study, smokers with and without COPD were compared for oxidants and enzymatic antioxidants. Besides oxidant‐antioxidant imbalance, the study also demonstrates the role of enzymes involved in detoxifying lipid perox...

Description
Summary:Several theories have been put forth to explain the aetiology of COPD. In the present study, smokers with and without COPD were compared for oxidants and enzymatic antioxidants. Besides oxidant‐antioxidant imbalance, the study also demonstrates the role of enzymes involved in detoxifying lipid peroxidation products in maintaining lung integrity.
