Total Antioxidant Status and Lipid Peroxides in Patients with Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Free radicals are potentially damaging to tissues, producing irreversible damage to biomolecules such as enzymes, proteins and membrane lipids. The current study was conducted to assess the concentration of malionaldehyde(MDA) as a marker of lipid peroxidation and total antioxidant status(TAS) in patients with active pulmonary tuberculosis and to examine the influence of chemotherapy on these p...
متن کاملSimple and specific test for measuring lipid peroxides in plasma.
The specificity of an iodometric assay for measuring lipid peroxides in lipoproteins was tested, compared with the fluorimetric thiobarbituric acid assay, and adopted for detecting lipid peroxide in plasma samples. Oxidation of low density lipoproteins in vitro by Cu2+, lipoxidase, and phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leucocytes was sensitively detected by the iodometric assay. Unlike the thioba...
متن کاملPlasma levels of lipid peroxides in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Oxidative stress is implicated as a major factor for nigral neuronal cell death. Metabolic failure in antioxidant mechanisms could hypothetically facilitate the chemical processes that lead to lipid peroxidation. To elucidate whether elevated lipid peroxidation rates might increase risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), the Authors determined plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in 80 P...
متن کاملSTUDY ON THE HEPATOTOXICITY OF ANTI-TUBERCULOSIS DRUGS IN 190 PATIE NTS WITH PULMONARY AND E XTRAPULMONARY TUBERCULOSIS
Tuberculosis is one of the oldest diseases that affects humans. The cause of this disease is Mycobacterium tuberculosis. This disease affects approximately 8.8 million people worldwide and led to over 3 million deaths in 1995. 95% of those affected and 98% of deaths occurred in developing countries. Hepatic reactions constitute a major proportion of drug reactions to antituberculosis drugs ...
متن کاملEffects of Heracleum Persicum Hydroalcoholic Extract on Insulin, Serum Anti-Oxidant Enzymes, Glucose, and Lipid Profiles in Alloxan-Induced Diabetic Rats
Background: Heracleum persicum (H. persicum) is a medicinal herb used in Iranian traditional medicine for its anti-toxic property. It is commonly consumed in the form of food additives and as a medicinal herbal tonic to treat liver and kidney diseases. The present study aimed to investigate the anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-hyperlipidemic effects of H. persicum hydroalcoholic extract in...
