Original Article: Physiological antioxidant system and oxidative stress in stomach cancer patients with normal renal and hepatic function
نویسنده
چکیده
Role of free radicals has been proposed in the pathogenesis of many diseases. Gastric cancer is a common disease worldwide, and leading cause of cancer death in India. Severe oxidative stress produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induces uncontrolled lipid peroxidation. Albumin, uric acid (UA) and Bilirubin are important physiological antioxidants. We aimed to evaluate and assess the role of oxidative stress (OS) and physiological antioxidant system in stomach cancer patients. Lipid peroxidation measured as plasma Thio Barbituric Acid Reactive substances (TBARS), was found to be elevated significantly (p=0.001) in stomach cancer compared to controls along with a decrease in plasma physiological antioxidant system. The documented results were due to increased lipid peroxidation and involvement of physiological antioxidants in scavenging free radicals but not because of impaired hepatic and renal functions.

Antioxidant Effect of Ardeh and Honey Combination on Ethanol-induced Oxidative stress in Liver and Kidney of Rats
Background: The pathogenesis of ethanol in the liver and kidney is associated with an increase in free radicals and oxidative stress that leads to structural and functional abnormalities in these vital organs. Methods: Forty-eight male wistar rats were placed in eight groups and were treated as follows: control group (normal saline), group of ethanol (4 g/ kg), three doses of Ardeh and honey co...

Background: The risk of atherosclerosis and cancer is high in hemodialysis (HD) patients. There is evidence that HD causes oxidative stress. However, the causative factors of oxidative stress are unknown. It has been suggested that HD imposes an additional oxidative stress on patients with chronic renal failure by activation of granulocytes on dialyzer membranes resulting in an imbalance betwee...

متن کاملEffects of fasting on the immune system function and its positive effects on the chemotherapy of various types of cancer
Fasting is one of the most basic religions in Islam. The body considers fasting as a stress and tries to cope with it through a path called self-regulating stress. The effects of fasting on various diseases and different physiological conditions have been evaluated and its positive effects have been shown in many diseases. The effects of fasting on the immune system of healthy people in general...

Spermatozoa are very special cells and constantly exposed to the interphase between oxidative stress through high amounts of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and leukocytes, and reduction by means of scavengers and antioxidants. Considering the very special functions of spermatozoa as being the only cells with such high polarization and exerting their functions outside the body, even in a differen...
