Amelioration of oxidative stress in red blood cells from patients with β‐thalassemia major and intermedia and E‐β‐thalassemia following administration of a fermented papaya preparation
Tóm tắt
In β‐hemoglobinopathies, such as β‐thalassemia (thal) and sickle cell anemia, the primary defects are mutations in the β‐globin gene. However, many aspects of the pathophysiology are mediated by oxidative stress. Fermented papaya preparation (FPP), a natural health food product obtained by biofermentation of carica papaya, has been shown to limit oxidative stress both
