Since an increase in kynurenine (Kyn) plasma concentrations has been proposed as marker of immune system activation, we studied the associations between the Kyn levels and presence and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

Abstract
Since an increase in kynurenine (Kyn) plasma concentrations has been proposed as marker of immune system activation, we studied the associations between the Kyn levels and presence and severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
