Özet

Background: Atherogenic process is accelerated with cigarette smoke that contains many oxidants and prooxidants, capable of producing free radical and enhancing the oxidative stress. We investigated oxidative and antioxidative status of children who had been exposed to passive smoking and compared with those of not exposed group.
