Persistence of oxidant and protease burden in the airways after smoking cessation
BACKGROUND: Oxidative stress is associated with the pathogenesis of cigarette smoke related lung diseases, but longitudinal effects of smoking cessation on oxidant markers in the airways are unknown. METHODS: This study included 61 smokers; 21 with chronic bronchitis or COPD, 15 asthmatics and 25 as...
