Association between alpha 1 -antitrypsin (α 1 -AT) levels, lipid profile and ventilatory pulmonary function in predicting the cardiovascular risk in simptomatic smokers

Association between alpha 1 -antitrypsin (α 1 -AT) levels, lipid profile and ventilatory pulmonary function in predicting the cardiovascular risk in simptomatic smokers

Background Cigarette smoke oxidants can cause oxidative inactivation of methionine residues of α 1 -AT, leading to lipid binding, with dyslipidemia, inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, the early stage of atherosclerosis. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between serum α 1 -AT...
