Remarkably, a study by Escribano et al revealed that, when compared with the control group, children with severe AATD showed significantly increased levels of oxidative stress biomarkers and decreased levels of antioxidants, as expressed by lower total and reduced glutathione levels, decreased catalase activity, and increased glutathione peroxidase activity
Concentration = 10mg 2mL = 5mg/mL If a protocol step calls for 2mg, the injection volume is: 2mg 5mg/mL = 0.4mL On a standard U-100 insulin syringe (where 100 units = 1mL), 0.4mL converts to 40 units
