Iron serum level and TIBC in porkinson disease

Parkinson disease is one of the neurodegenetive disease with a prevalence of about 1% in people older than 65.from a pathological point of view,degeneration of neuromelanin cells in pars compacta of substantia nigra has been established.the reason of degeneration is unknouwn.increase in iron concentration in substantia of parkinson,s patients has been established.the  increase of iron in this p...

Serum iron level, ferritin and total iron binding capacity level among nonpregnant women with and without melasma

BACKGROUND Melasma is a common acquired disorder characterized by symmetric, hyperpigmented patches with an irregular outline, occurring most commonly on the face. It is most prevalent among young to middle-aged women. Although iron overload affects skin pigmentation, effect of iron deficiency on skin is not clear. So, we evaluated serum iron level, ferritin and total iron binding capacity (TIB...

Watercress supplementation in diet reduces lymphocyte DNA damage and alters blood antioxidant status in healthy adults.

BACKGROUND Cruciferous vegetable (CV) consumption is associated with a reduced risk of several cancers in epidemiologic studies. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the effects of watercress (a CV) supplementation on biomarkers related to cancer risk in healthy adults. DESIGN A single-blind, randomized, crossover study was conducted in 30 men and 30 women (30 smokers and 30 non...

Oxidative/antioxidative status, lymphocyte DNA damage, and urotensin-2 receptor level in patients with migraine attacks

Background The present study investigated the potential roles of plasma lymphocyte DNA damage, the urotensin-2 receptor (UTS2R), and oxidative changes in patients with varying degrees of migraine-related disability who were in the ictal phase and presented to our emergency department. Methods This study enrolled 40 consecutive adult patients with migraine attack and 40 age- and sex-matched he...
