Evaluation of Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants’ Status in Metabolic Syndrome

Evaluation of lipid peroxidation and antioxidants' status in metabolic syndrome.

BACKGROUND Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of physical conditions and metabolic abnormalities, commonly occurring together, that increases an individual's risk for development of type 2 diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. Oxidative stress is associated with diabetes, hypertension and other cardiovascular diseases while the role of oxidative stress in pathogenesis of MS is not c...

Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Arterial Hypertension

Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Alzheimer’s Disease

The concepts of oxidative stress and antioxidants have been implicated in neurodegenerative disorders. Oxidative stress was assessed by estimating lipid peroxidation product in the form of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Enzymatic antioxidants like superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione peroxidase(GPx), catalase, ceruloplasmin and non enzymatic antioxidant vitamins like vitamin...

Lipid Peroxidation by-Products and the Metabolic Syndrome

Effect of occupation on lipid peroxidation and antioxidants' status in masons.

Effect of occupation on haematological factors, lipid peroxidation and antioxidants' status was studied in masons and compared with normal subjects. Red blood corpuscles (RBC), haemoglobin (Hb), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene levels and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) activities decreased. Thiobarbituric acid reacting substances (TBARS) level i...
