Oxidative stress and superoxide dismutase in schizophrenia.

چکیده
Oxyradicals are chemical species with an unpaired electron in one of their orbits. Production of oxyradicals occurs throughout the body during cellular metabolism [l]. A complex antioxidant system exists to regulate levels of oxyradicals as excessive production or ineffective removal can result in cellular damage. The antioxidant enzymes present indude superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione pgroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT). SOD dismutates superoxide (*a-) to yield hydrogen peroxide (H202) and oxygen (02) : SOD 2.02+ 2H' Hz02 + 02

Oxidative stress in schizophrenia: a case–control study on the effects on social cognition and neurocognition
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is a debilitating mental disorder that presents impairments in neurocognition and social cognition. Several studies have suggested that the etiology of schizophrenia can be partly explained by oxidative stress. However, our knowledge about the implications of oxidative stress on illness-related cognitive deficits is still far from being clear. The aim of this work was t...
متن کاملCognition impairment in schizophrenia patients with tardive dyskinesia: association with plasma superoxide dismutase activity.
Long-term antipsychotic treatment for schizophrenia is often associated with the emergence of tardive dyskinesia (TD), and TD presence is also accompanied by more severe cognitive impairment. Oxidative stress-induced damage may be involved in the development of TD and contribute to cognitive deficits in schizophrenia. We examined the role of oxidative stress in relation to TD and cognitive defi...
متن کاملMeta-analysis of oxidative stress in schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND Schizophrenia is associated with impaired antioxidant defense, including abnormal serum, plasma, and red blood cell (RBC) oxidative stress parameters. We performed a meta-analysis of these associations, considering the effect of clinical status and antipsychotic treatment after an acute exacerbation of psychosis. METHODS We identified articles by searching PubMed, PsychInfo, and In...
متن کاملEffect of hydroalcoholic extract of Salvia officinalis L. on the activity of catalase and superoxide dismutase in an oxidative stress model created by intracerebroventricular STZ injection in male rats
Introduction: Oxidative stress is the result of imbalance between free radicals and the antioxidant defense mechanisms of the body. Oxidative stress in brain causes dysfunction of brain activities, destruction of neurons, and disorders like Alzheimer disease. In this experimental study, we examined the protective effect of Salvia officinalis L. against oxidative stress induced by intracerebr...
متن کاملEffect of alpha-lipoic acid supplementation on oxidative stress markers and antioxidative defense in patients with schizophrenia.
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of alpha-lipoic acid (LA) supplementation on oxidative stress markers in patients with schizophrenia. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Eighteen (18) medicated patients with schizophrenia and 38 healthy controls received daily supplements of LA (500 mg/day) for three months. At baseline, 45th and 90th days of supplementation, venous blood col...
