• Abstract:

  Oxidative stress caused the generation of Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) plays an important role in human carcinogenesis. Manganese Superoxyde dismutase (MnSOD) is a major enzyme that is responsible for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species in the mitochondria.

  This case-control study covered 70 lung cancer patients and 81 healthy control
