چکیده

AIM To test whether the activities of erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) can be affected by oral iron (OI) treatment, parenteral iron (PI) treatment, and parenteral iron treatment with vitamin E supplementation (PIE) in iron deficiency anemia. METHODS Twenty-eight patients with iron deficiency anemia and 18 healthy controls were included in the study. Anemic patients were systematically allocated into 3 treatment groups. The first group (n=8) received OI, the second group (n=10) PI, and the third group (n=10) PIE. SOD and GSH-Px activities were determined using commercial kits. RESULTS Before the treatment, SOD activity was significantly lower in anemic patients than in the control group (Kruskal-Wallis test, p<0.05). After the treatment, SOD activity significantly increased in all three patient groups and reached the values found in the control group (Wicoxon signed-rank test, p=0.017 for OI, p=0.047 for PI, and p=0.037 for PIE group). Before the treatment, GSH-Px activities in anemic patients were similar to that of control group (Kruskal-Wallis test, p>0.05). Although there was no significant decrease in GSH-Px activity after OI treatment, both PI and PIE treatments significantly decreased GSH-Px activity (Wilcoxon signed-ranks test, p=0.007 for PI and p=0.005 for PIE). PIE was more effective than PI treatment in maintaining GSH-PX activity. CONCLUSION Oral iron treatment improved the iron deficiency anemia and recovered antioxidant defense system by increasing SOD activity and maintaining GSH-Px activity at normal level. When parenteral iron treatment is inevitable, vitamin E supplementation together with PI treatment may be effective in partially restoring the antioxidant status in this type of anemia.

Anemia Caused by Oxidative Stress

Anemia is considered to be one of the major health problems. According to the World Health Organization, about 30 percent of people throughout the world suffer from anemia. The most common cause of anemia is iron deficiency; however, recent work has shown that reactive oxygen species (ROS) of erythrocytes are one of the principal causative factors of anemia. Elevation of ROS in erythrocytes cou...

Ferric Carboxymaltose-Mediated Attenuation of Doxorubicin-Induced Cardiotoxicity in an Iron Deficiency Rat Model

Since anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (AIC), a complication of anthracycline-based chemotherapies, is thought to involve iron, concerns exist about using iron for anaemia treatment in anthracycline-receiving cancer patients. This study evaluated how intravenous ferric carboxymaltose (FCM) modulates the influence of iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) and doxorubicin (3-5 mg per kg body weight [B...
