چکیده

BACKGROUND/AIMS In this study we aim to evaluate the relationship of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), total thiol, total antioxidant status (TAS), total oxidant status (TOS) levels and oxidative stress index (OSI) in patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 28 patients with NASH and 19 age-and-gender-matched healthy subjects were enrolled in the study as control group. Plasma AOPP and thiol levels were determined by spectrophotometric methods. Plasma TAS and TOS levels were measured using commercially available kits and OSI was calculated. RESULTS Plasma AOPP (256.7 vs. 125.8 μmol/L) and TOS levels (8.9 vs. 5.9 μmol H2O2 equiv/L) were higher in patients with NASH than the controls (p<0.019 and p<0.041 respectively). Plasma total thiol levels (235.0 vs. 291.6 μmol/L) were lower in patients with NASH than the controls (p<0.001). TAS levels (1.14 vs. 1.14 mmol Trolox equiv/L) were not significantly different in patients with NASH than the controls (p>0.900). OSI values (8.0 vs. 5.5) were higher in patients with NASH than the controls (p<0.039). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that oxidative stress increases in patients with NASH as shown by increases in TOS level. We think effective antioxidant therapy to inhibit protein oxidation and also to increase of TAS and total thiol levels may be a therapeutic option in patients with NASH who have under increased oxidative stress.

Correlation between the serum and tissue levels of oxidative stress markers and the extent of inflammation in acute appendicitis

OBJECTIVES To determine the serum and tissue levels of markers of impaired oxidative metabolism and correlate these levels with the histopathology and Alvarado score of acute appendicitis patients. METHOD Sixty-five acute appendicitis patients (mean age, 31.4±12.06 years; male/female, 30/35) and 30 healthy control subjects were studied. The Alvarado score was recorded. Serum samples were obta...

Plasma redox status is impaired in the portacaval shunted rat – the risk of the reduced antioxidant ability

BACKGROUND Portacaval shunting in rats produces a reduction of hepatic oxidant scavenging ability. Since this imbalance in hepatic oxidant/antioxidant homeostasis could coexist with systemic changes of oxidant stress/antioxidant status, plasma oxidants and antioxidant redox status in plasma of portacaval shunted-rats were determined. RESULTS Male Wistar male: Control (n = 11) and with portaca...

The role of advanced oxidation protein products and total thiols in diabetic retinopathy.

PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the role of protein peroxidation by detecting the serum levels of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP), a novel marker for the degree of oxidative damage to proteins, and total thiol as a marker of antioxidant status in diabetic patients with or without diabetic retinopathy (DR) and to compare the results with those of control subjects. METHODS Th...
