Passive Smoking Exacerbates Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase Isoform 2 –Induced Oxidative Stress and Arterial Dysfunction in Children with Persistent Allergic Rhinitis

To characterize nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase isoform 2 (NOX2), oxidative stress, and endothelial function in children with and without allergic rhinitis and to ascertain the effect of passive smoke exposure on these factors, because there is an established association between allergic rhinitis and increased cardiovascular risk in adults.
