Abstracts

EN

Activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione peroxidase in erythrocytes of cystic fibrosis children were studied in order to estimate the severity of their deficiency. Our results point to increased susceptibility of erythrocytes of cystic fibrosis subjects to oxidative injury and indicate that the antioxidant status of patients should be carefully monitored.
