  • Title: Down's syndrome: increased enzymatic antioxidative defense is accompanied by decreased superoxide anion generation in blood.
    Author: Kedziora J, Błaszczyk J, Sibińska E, Bartosz G.
    Journal: Hereditas; 1990; 113(1):73-5. PubMed ID: 2177051.
    Abstract:
    Whole blood leukocytes of DS patients were found to produce less superoxide radical anion than in healthy controls, especially without stimulation with zymosan. This decreased superoxide generation may contribute to the immune system deficiency reported for DS.
