1 High plasma thiocyanate levels in smokers are a key determinant of thiol oxidation induced by myeloperoxidase. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
2 We hypothesized that smokers would have a high level of thiocyanate (SCN(-)), a preferred substrate for MPO, which in turn would predispose to thiol oxidation, an established independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. thiocyanate myeloperoxidase Homo sapiens
