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...

background: obesity is associated with increased lipid peroxidation. it has also been suggested that risk of lipid peroxida­tion increases with increasing body iron stores. the aim of this study was to examine the association of body iron status with the concentration of plasma malondialdehyde (p-mda) as a marker of lipid peroxidation in obese and non-obese women. methods: in a case control stu...

plant growth is often limited by low levels of soil micronutrients such as copper (cu), ‎especially in calcareous salt-affected soils of arid and semiarid regions. the aim of this ‎work was to investigate individual and combined effects of salinity and cu on growth, leaf ‎relative water content (lrwc), cell membrane permeability, lipid peroxidation, and total ‎phenolic content (tpc) of rosemary...

background: glycowithanolides (withaferin a), is one of the main withanolides active principle isolated from plant withania somnifera and is claimed that it possess the aphrodisiac, sedative, rejuvenate and life prolonging properties. objective: in the present investigation, antioxidant activity of active principles of withania somnifera was tested against d-galactose induced oxidative stress i...

conclusions our results seem to indicate that oral omega-3 may promote the lipid profile and indices of lipid peroxidation in patients following kidney transplantation however extents of these effects are not significant. results of thirty patients, 12 were male and 18 were female with the mean age of 45.3 ± 13.0 (18-65) years. at the baseline, the serum levels of mda and apo b were 3.5 ± 1.3 a...

This study was conducted to investigate the hepatoprotective and antioxidant effects of pentoxifylline (PTX) against aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) exposure in perfused rat livers by evaluating damage marker enzymes, antioxidant defense systems (glutathione, GSH) and lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde, MDA). Sixteen rats were divided randomly into four experimental groups: control, PTX, AFB1 and AFB1 + P...

t-2 toxin, a trichothecene mycotoxin, is considered to be one of the most toxic compounds that are produced by molds, particularly the fusarium species. fusarium species have been recognized as a great agricultural problem. they occur worldwide on a variety of plant hosts and cereal grains. the aim of this study was to investigate t-2 toxin-induced liver injury using in situ perfused rat liver....
