free radicals and antioxidants “oxidative stress” in cadmium exposure workers
نویسندگان
چکیده
oxidative stress arises when there is a marked imbalance between the production and removal of reactive oxygen species that may lead to several diseases. cadmium is an environmental and industrial pollutant that results in formation of free radicals. the aim of this study was to determine the oxidative stress status in cadmium exposure workers. this is a cross-sectional study of 36 people of cadmium exposure workers with two years employment records who were randomly selected as the case group and 36 other people who were selected with matched age and gender as the control group. both groups were compared for the different parameters of oxidative stress. the mean and standard deviation (mean sd) of the total antioxidant capacity of serum was 2.9+0.9 in case group and 2.4+1.2 in control group (p=0.003). the rate of lipid peroxidation was 7.2+3.4 in case group and 9.3+3.6 in control group (p=0.015). the rate of total thiol group was 34+243 in case group and 0.246+0.114 in control group (p=0.004). the results of the study indicated that following exposure to cadmium, their tac and thiol group antioxidants markedly enhanced to retaliate the influence of excessive reactive oxygen radicals. this decreased lipid peroxidation.

Free radicals, metals and antioxidants in oxidative stress-induced cancer.
Oxygen-free radicals, more generally known as reactive oxygen species (ROS) along with reactive nitrogen species (RNS) are well recognised for playing a dual role as both deleterious and beneficial species. The "two-faced" character of ROS is substantiated by growing body of evidence that ROS within cells act as secondary messengers in intracellular signalling cascades, which induce and maintai...

Received 13 March 2011 Revised 04 May 2011 Accepted 14 June 2011 Early online 01 July 2011 Print 31 July 2011 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a collective term used for oxygen containing free radicals, depending on their reactivity and oxidizing ability. ROS participate in a variety of chemical reactions with biomolecules leading to a pathological condition known as oxidative stress. Antioxida...

Exercise, free radicals and oxidative stress.
This article reviews the role of free radicals in causing oxidative stress during exercise. High intensity exercise induces oxidative stress and although there is no evidence that this affects sporting performance in the short term, it may have longer term health consequences. The mechanisms of exercise-induced oxidative stress are not well understood. Mitochondria are sometimes considered to b...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is an adult-onset disease of unknown etiology, with a prevalence of 0.3% in the entire population, affecting more than 1% of humans over 60 years of age. Primary degeneration occurs in pigmented dopamine-containing neurons in the pars compacta of the substantia nigra, with projections to the striatum and typical motor signs that appear with a loss of 60% of the dopamine...
