We report that the disulfide/thiol ratio and disulfide levels were significantly higher in the asthmatic group than in the control group. All in all, high levels of disulfide/thiol ratios in asthmatic children are thought to play roles in the pathogenesis of the disease.en10.1055/s-0036-1597607info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessthioldisulfidedisulfide/thiol ratiopathogenesisasthmaoxidative stressCoronary-Artery-DiseaseSuperoxide-DismutaseOxidative StressFree-RadicalsOxidantChildrenPlasmaEnzymeArticle63152155N/AWOS:0004109982000052-s2.0-85007197407N/A
