Serum and Ascitic Fluid Superoxide Dismutase and Malondialdehyde Levels in Patients with Cirrhosis
SUMMARY: Serum and ascitic fluid superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured in 43 patients with cirrhosis and in a 10 healthy control group. Compensated cirrhotic patients had no clinically detectable ascites, but decompensated patients had massive ascites. Cirrhotic patients were divided into three groups: patients with compensated cirrhosis (n = 16), patients wi...
متن کاملLevels of superoxide dismutase and malondialdehyde in primary spontaneous pneumothorax.
The aim of the present study is to determine whether patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) are subject to oxidative stress. For this purpose, we measured the activities of red blood cell superoxide dismutase, which is an antioxidant enzyme, and the level of plasma malondialdehyde, which is one of the lipid peroxidation markers, in a group of patients with PSP. The study was carri...
متن کاملLevels of Malondialdehyde and Superoxide Dismutase in Subclinical Hyperthyroidism
We aimed to determine whether patients with subclinical hyperthyroidism (SH) are subject to oxidative stress. Twenty-two women and 8 men having endogenous subclinical hyperthyroidism for a duration of at least 6 months, and 21 women and 9 men healthy controls were included in this study. We measured the level of plasma malondialdehyde, as one of the lipid peroxidation markers, and the activity ...
متن کاملSuperoxide dismutase activity and malondialdehyde levels in patients with travel-induced psychosis
BACKGROUND Oxidative stress is a neurotoxic factor that may precipitate acute psychoses. AIM Assess the relationship of travel-induced psychosis and oxidative stress. METHODS Twenty-one inpatients with travel-induced psychosis related to prolonged train travel were evaluated using the Brief Psychiatric Rating Scale (BPRS) at the time of admission and their plasma superoxide dismutase (SOD) ...
متن کاملSerum and ascitic fluid bacterial DNA: a new independent prognostic factor in noninfected patients with cirrhosis.
UNLABELLED We tested the hypothesis that the presence of bacterial DNA (bactDNA) in ascitic fluid and serum is associated with decreased survival in patients with cirrhosis. In a prospective, multicenter study, we analyzed the clinical evolution of 156 patients with cirrhosis and ascites (first or recurrence) with lower than 250 polymorphonuclear cells (PMN)/muL, negative ascites bacteriologica...
