Background: Brucella species can cause infection in a wide range of animals and human beings. Oxidative events against brucella infection are not well elucidated. It is possible that brucellosis may be related to increased free radical production and antioxidant depletion. Thus, the aim of this study was to determine the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) before and after treatment of patients wi...

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...

PURPOSE Many patients with cancer take antioxidant nutritional supplements during cancer treatment to alleviate treatment toxicities and to improve long-term outcomes, but little is known about the efficacy and safety of antioxidant use during cancer treatment. We reviewed English-language manuscripts published in the biomedical literature, reporting the results of observational studies of anti...

Abstract Objectives Dental caries is a multifactorial infectious disease caused by the colonization and proliferation of bacteria in mouth. Recently, it has been reported that local antioxidant oxidant status may play an important role pathogenesis dental caries. Visfatin adipocytokine enhances leukocyte activation release proinflammatory cytokines. In this study, our aim was to investigate sal...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of different levels of savory (satureja hortensis) powder and its essential oil on performance and antioxidant status of broiler chickens under heat stress (34±2 ˚c for 8 hours per day). a total of 336 one-day-old male broiler chicks (ross-308) were divided into 6 treatments and 4 replications (14 birds per replicate). experimental diets were a...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress, an increase in oxidants and/or a decrease in antioxidant capacity, is one of the potential biochemical mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. We aimed to investigate the total antioxidant response using a novel automated method in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis subjects. As a reciprocal measure, we also aimed to determine total peroxi...

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a multifactorial disorder with various disturbances in biochemical processes such as antioxidant status and lipid peroxidation. The aim of present study was evaluation of the oxidative stress markers in saliva of T2DM patients. Materials and Methods: In this study, 80 (40 T2DM and 40 control) individuals were assessed. The salivary total antioxidan...
