Background: Diabetes mellitus is a systemic condition that affects various organs, including the eyes. N-acetylcysteine ​​(NAC) functions as an antioxidant because it belongs to thiol group synthesis glutathione. However, availability of cysteine ​​in body only 15%, so ​​supplementation can help with oxidative stress in diabetic cataracts. That will prevent reaction lipid peroxidase and formati...

Materials and methods: Classical biochemical methods were used to determine plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) levels. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine plasma insulin levels and reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of ...

Four commercial brands of infant milk formula were investigated, and the amount of shelf lipid peroxidation was determined by measuring malondialdehyde (MDA) or, more exactly, thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) levels, which are the end products of lipid peroxidation. TBARS level, indicated by MDA concentration, was higher in the vegetarian brands. The vegetarian brands are, as expe...

OBJECTIVE To study the effect of Sorbaria Sorbifolia extract on anti-oxidative activities in rats with precancerosis induced by diethylnitrosamine. METHODS Sorbaria sorbifolia was perfused into stomach of rats with DEN-induced precancerosis, then the biochemical indexes were investigated. The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX), and the concentrations of ...

Dendrophthoe pentandra (L.) Miq is a parasitic plant with medicinal potential found in 3000 other species. The duku parasite usually considered on the and often discarded because it thought to interfere growth of plant. purpose this study was see effect leaf extract reduction malondialdehyde (MDA) hyperglycemic rats. MDA levels were measured by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substance (TBARS) ass...

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a highly reactive aldehyde generally formed as a consequence of lipid peroxidation. MDA has been inferred to have mutagenic and cytotoxic roles and possibly to be a participant in the onset of atherosclerosis. Wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae acquires resistance to a lethal dose (5 mM) of MDA following prior exposure to a nonlethal concentration (1 mM). This response ...
