Cognitive Function and Hippocampal Glutathione and Malondialdehyde Levels in Paraoxon-intoxicated Rats

Background and purpose: Exposure to organophosphorus (OP) compounds may contribute to an increased risk of cognitive impairments and induction of oxidative stress. The present study was designed to evaluate the effects of exposure to paraoxon (the active metabolite of insecticide parathion) on cognitive function and oxidative stress biomarkers. Materials and methods: Adult male Wistar rats (n=...

The correlation between plasma homocysteine and malondialdehyde levels in preeclampsia.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the possible correlation between plasma malondialdehyde and homocysteine levels of preeclamptic patients. DESIGN Venous blood samples of 20 preeclamptics and 20 healthy pregnant controls were collected. Plasma malondialdehyde and homocysteine concentrations were measured and the correlation between them was investigated. Mann Whitney U test and Spearman correlation an...

Are Radiation Exposure Levels Used in Cardiology Dangerous?

Background: The number of interventional cardiology procedures performed has increased rapidly over the past years. While these procedures help physicians avoid using highly complicated invasive methods, it usually leads to high levels of exposure to ionizing radiation of both patients and cardiologist. The dose received by the cardiologist during interventional cardiology procedures is determi...
