Erythrocyte Antioxidant Enzymes in Hyperlipoproteinemia

Brief Communication: Erythrocyte Antioxidant Enzymes in Patients with Cataract

The pathogenesis of cataract has been found to be influenced by a number of factors including oxidative stress. Catalase, glutathione peroxidase (GPX), and superoxide dismutase (SOD) are some of the antioxidant enzymes that protect the body from oxidative damage. The present study investigates the activities of erythrocyte catalase, GPX, and SOD with respect to senile cataract (non-diabetic cat...

Erythrocyte Antioxidant Enzymes in Overweight Thai

The specific activities of antioxidant enzymes, [eg superoxide dismutases (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and catalase (CAT)], anthropometric measurements, including waist/hip ratio of 48 male and 167 female overweight persons (body mass index (BMI) ≥25.0 kg/m) compared with a 26 male and 80 female control group (BMI = 18.5-24.9 kg/m) of Thai volunteers who attended the Out-patient Departme...

Erythrocyte antioxidant enzymes in Parkinson's disease.

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVES Oxidative stress is incriminated to play a central role in the pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Oxidative stress, to which neurons are highly susceptible, is also known to induce oxidative changes in human red blood cells (RBCs), in vivo and in vitro. Earlier studies on oxidative stress in RBCs in patients with PD have yielded controversial results claiming unal...

Altered Activities of Antioxidant Enzymes in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome

OBJECTIVE In the pathogenesis of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), an increase of oxidative stress could play an important role which is closely linked with insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, and chronic inflammation. The aim of our study was to assess several parameters of the antioxidant status in MetS. METHODS 40 subjects with MetS and 40 age- and sex-matched volunteers without MetS...
