Abstract

Background and Aim. Oxidative stress is believed to have a role in the development of nasal polyps (NPs). It is also known that prolidase activity increases secondary to chronic inflammation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between prolidase activity and oxidative stress parameters in patients with NPs.
