abstract = "ln study anti-oxidative enzymes (Cat, G-Px, G-red, G-6PD11 and GSH) in patients with pulmonary emphysema, we analyzed the blood samples taken from 20 patients with global respiratory failure (10 males, mean age 56+-7.5 yis, and 10 females, mean age 60±5yrs). All patients were heavy cigarette smokers, in average 33±8 pack-years. Chest radiographs of these patients were compatible with lung emphysema. Spirometric examinations revealed severe, irreversible pressure-dependent airflow limitations; body plethysmographic measurements revealed overinflation in increased total lung capacities, and transfer factors were greatly reduced. The control group consisted of 14 healthy smokers. Slightly elevated (alpha-1-antitrypsin in our pts., 3.55±0.76 g/L, indicated an acute phase reaction. The highly positive correlation was found between Cu and LDH (r=0.81, p<0.001) and between Cu and Mg (r=0.47, p<0.01). These results are correlated to the parameters of acid - base status, and they suggest that it is necessary to determine copper in the blood of patients with COLD in order to correctly evaluate hypoxia.",
