The relation of serum thiol levels and thiol/disulphide homeostasis with the severity of coronary artery disease.

Background: The balance of oxidant and antioxidant status plays a key role in the coronary artery diseases (CAD). Thiol is one of the most important antioxidant barriers in humans, and thiol/disulphide homeostasis is a novel oxidative stress marker.

Aim: We aimed to investigate the relation of serum thiol levels and thiol/disulphide homeostasis with the presence and severity of CAD.
