## Abstract Leukocyte oxidative function was investigated in a more physiological milieu than currently used in the chemiluminescence (CL) technique. Heparinized blood was mixed with 6% dextranโT70 (9:1) and the leukocyteโrich plasma obtained without centrifugation was used for the CL experiments (
Non-enzymatic glycosylation (NEG) of collagen has been previously shown to signiยฎcantly inยฏuence the reactive oxygen metabolism (ROM) of phagocytic cells in healthy subjects. Considering the role of NEG in the pathophysiology of diabetes, we have further analysed the oxidative metabolism of polymorp
Inflammatory processes in asthma are characterized by an infiltration o f inflammatory cells including mononuclear phagocytes. It has been observed that mononuclear phagocytes, alveolar macrophages and blood monocytes, release higher quantities o f reactive oxygen species in asthmatic patients than
