Exposure to traffic emissions: associations with biomarkers of antioxidant status and oxidative damage

摘要

BackgroundOxidative stress has been implicated as a possible mechanism for adverse health effects associated with traffic emissions. We examined the association of an estimate of traffic emissions with blood biomarkers of antioxidant capacity (glutathione, glutathione peroxidase, trolox-equivalent antioxidant capacity) and oxidative damage (thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS)) among 1,810 healthy women, randomly selected from Erie and Niagara Counties in Western New York.
