Lipid peroxides level in the Indonesian elderly
A cross-sectional study was done to see the possible association of plasma lipid peroxides in the elderly with age and other factors. Plasma lipid peroxides is a product of free radical reactions which according to the latest theory of aging is the cause of aging process. Lipid peroxides were also found high in coronary heart disease. Four hundred forty relatively healthy elderly, age 55-85 yea...
متن کاملSimple and specific test for measuring lipid peroxides in plasma.
The specificity of an iodometric assay for measuring lipid peroxides in lipoproteins was tested, compared with the fluorimetric thiobarbituric acid assay, and adopted for detecting lipid peroxide in plasma samples. Oxidation of low density lipoproteins in vitro by Cu2+, lipoxidase, and phagocytosing polymorphonuclear leucocytes was sensitively detected by the iodometric assay. Unlike the thioba...
متن کاملPlasma levels of lipid peroxides in patients with Parkinson's disease.
Oxidative stress is implicated as a major factor for nigral neuronal cell death. Metabolic failure in antioxidant mechanisms could hypothetically facilitate the chemical processes that lead to lipid peroxidation. To elucidate whether elevated lipid peroxidation rates might increase risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), the Authors determined plasma levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) in 80 P...
متن کاملHormonal contraceptive increases plasma lipid peroxides in female rats. Relationship to platelet aggregation and lipid biosynthesis.
We investigated whether changes in plasma oxidative properties could occur after oral (hormonal) contraceptive (OC) administration in female rats and whether such changes could be responsible for the platelet increase in aggregation and lipid biosynthesis observed with that treatment. Platelets and plasma (platelet-poor) from control and OC (ethinyl estradiol + lynestrenol)-treated rats were pr...
متن کاملPlasma Carotenoids and Onset of Dysglycemia in an Elderly Population
OBJECTIVE The hypothesis of carotenoid having a preventive role in diabetes is suggested by their antioxidant properties. In this report, we investigated the relationship between baseline total plasma carotenoid levels and 9-year onset of dysglycemia (impaired fasting glucose or type 2 diabetes) in a healthy elderly population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Epidemiology of Vascular Ageing S...
