Background: Oxidative stress in obese people is an important pathogenic mechanism of an obesity-associated metabolic syndrome. We evaluated the association between circulating leptin levels with biomarkers of oxidative stress in overweight and obese participants.    Methods: This study was performed on 189 overweight and obese people aged 18-60 years old. Serum leptin, superoxide dis...

BACKGROUND An imbalance between pro-oxidants and antioxidant systems has been suggested to be implicated in the physiopathology of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We aimed to evaluate the antioxidant capacity in Tunisian patients and to assess the possible relationship between erythrocyte catalase enzyme activity and hyperhomocysteinaemia. METHODS 108 patients with AMI and 81 healthy subje...

Abstract Lactolisterin BU is a novel bacteriocin identified from Lactococcus lactis in 2017. It exhibits antimicrobial activity against food spoilage and foodborne pathogens. In this study, was expressed Pichia pastoris ( P.pastoris ) isolated the supernatant of yeast culture for first time. found to exhibit broad spectrum rapid bactericidal bacterial pathogens, both gram-positive gram-negative...

Septicaemia caused by gram-negative pathogens is a dangerous infection which is associated with high incidence of liver dysfunction. The severe and acute hepatotoxicity is presumably due to massive release of endotoxin into systemic circulation after bacterial killing. The direct toxic effect of endotoxin is probably due to the increased production of reactive oxygen intermediates as O 2 - , p...

The effects of resveratrol (trans-3,4',5-trihydroxystilbene) on the oxidative stress in blood platelets induced by platinum compounds [cisplatin and selenium-cisplatin conjugate] were studied in vitro. The production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), the level of conjugate diene, the generation of superoxide anion radicals (O2-*) and other reactive oxygen species (O2-*, H2O2, ...

Introduction. There are evidence that oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of acute generalized peritonitis and diabetes mellitus.The aim study was to examine levels products lipid peroxidation antioxidants rats with experimental against background streptozotocin-induced diabetes.Material methods. The experiment performed on 66 adult white male weighing 220-300 g. Diabetes mellitus ...

antioxidant consumption has been reported to be inversely associated with the incidence of coronary artery disease. to clarify the possible role of vitamin e and volatile oils in the prevention of atherosclerosis, the effects of these compounds on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (ldl) to oxidative modification were investigated. in this study, vitamin e and seven volatile oils “an...

OBJECTIVES This study investigated serum thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) and free thiol levels in different subtypes of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) and evaluated their association with clinical outcomes. METHODS This prospective study evaluated 100 AIS patients, including 75 with small-vessel and 25 with large-vessel diseases. Serum oxidative stress (TBARS) and antioxidant (th...
