Polymorphism of microsomal epoxide hydrolase is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchodilator response
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase (EPHX) is an important enzyme that metabolizes harmful reactive epoxides from smoking. Genetic variations of this enzyme are thought to increase the risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aim of this study was to confirm and advance our know...
