Importance of Genetic Polymorphisms in <i>MT1</i> and <i>MT2</i> Genes in Metals Homeostasis and Their Relationship with the Risk of Acute Pancreatitis Occurrence in Smokers—Preliminary Findings

Importance of Genetic Polymorphisms in <i>MT1</i> and <i>MT2</i> Genes in Metals Homeostasis and Their Relationship with the Risk of Acute Pancreatitis Occurrence in Smokers—Preliminary Findings

This study was aimed at evaluating the changes in metallothionein (MT) concentration in the blood of patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and healthy subjects, taking into account the extracellular (plasma) and intracellular (erythrocyte lysate) compartments. The impact of single-nucleotide polymor...
