چکیده
Psoriasis is a immune mediated disease that affects skin characterized by hyperproliferation and inflammation of the skin. It is the most common chronic inflammatory skin disease, affecting about 2% of the general population. Skin is a major target of oxidative stress due to reactive oxygen species (ROS). This study was aimed to show that ROS play a significant role in pathogenesis of psoriasis. 40 cases and 40 controls between age group of 25 – 60 were taken. The levels of serum manoldialdehyde (MDA) and nitric oxide (NO) were significantly increased and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and Total Antioxidant Capacity (TAC),estimated by Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP) assay were decreased as compared to normal subjects. This study provides an evidence of an increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) production and decreased antioxidant defences in psoriasis.

متن کاملPlasma microRNA biomarkers for detection of mild cognitive impairment: Biomarker Validation Study
A minimally invasive test for early detection and monitoring of Alzheimer's and other neurodegenerative diseases is a highly unmet need for drug development and planning of patient care. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a syndrome characteristic of early stages of many neurodegenerative diseases. Recently, we have identified two sets of circulating brain-enriched miRNAs, the miR-132 family (m...
متن کاملRegions of [32 and [34 Responsible for Differences between the Steady State Dose-Response Relationships of the 0L3132 and ct3134 Neuronal Nicotinic Receptors
We constructed chimeras of the rat [32 and [34 neuronal nicotinic subunits to locate the regions that contribute to differences between the acetylcholine (ACh) dose-response relationships of the cx3132 and cx3134 receptors. Expressed in Xenopus oocytes, the r receptor displays an ECs0 for ACh ~ 20-fold less than the ECs0 of the ct3134 receptor. The apparent Hill slope (napp) of ~t3132 is near o...
