Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Neonatal Septicemia

Brief Report Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Neonatal Septicemia

Free radicals have been implicated in the pathogenesis of neonatal septicemia. The present study was planned to estimate the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in neonatal septicemia. The study was done to evaluate the lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status, both enzymatic and non-enzymatic in neonates with septicemia. This prospective study included 44 septicemic babies as cases and ...

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...

Vicissitudes in Lipid Peroxidation and Antioxidants in Elderly Niddm Patients

Advanced age in type-II diabetic patients is associated with an accumulation of free radical damage, which leads to physiological and\ clinical modifications. Age related changes resulting from free radical reactions include increasing levels of lipid peroxides, alterations in enzyme activities and greater osmotic fragility. The present study was conducted to estimate the level of lipid peroxid...

Lipid peroxidation and hepatic antioxidants in alcoholic liver disease.

The generation of hepatic liver peroxidation by free radicals has been proposed as a mechanism for ethanol induced hepatotoxicity. To investigate this hypothesis, lipid extracts from hepatic needle biopsy specimens from alcoholic subjects were examined for evidence of lipid peroxidation by measuring total conjugated dienes by derivative spectroscopy and, after hydrolysis of hepatic lipid extrac...
