Does the antioxidant level increase after the treatment of exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease every time?
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been increasingly recognized as a systemic disease. The hormonal, metabolic and musculoskeletal implications of the generalized processes involving oxidative stress, inflammatory mediators, cytokines, and endocrine hormones have only begun to be understood. The aim of this study was to assess of changes in oxidant stress during the treatment of exacerbation of COPD.
