Conclusions: Six months of treatment with isoflavones had a favorable effect on serum nitrites/nitrates, homocysteine and lipid levels in Turkish women in the early postmenopausal period. Although there is not enough evidence yet from large randomized clinical trials to make a recommendation about the use of phytoestrogens for prevention of cardiovascular disease in postmenopausal years, our re...

Conclusion: Biomarkers of oxidative stress such as protein carbonyl, NOx (total nitrites) and MDA are significantly increased in type 2 DM compared to healthy subjects. There is increased protein oxidation, lipid peroxidation, and increased conversion of NO. to its end products like nitrite and nitrates in type 2 DM. This suggests that there is increased production of reactive oxygen species (R...

The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between residual α- and β-punicalagin in Punica granatum L.; PPE rosmarinic acid, carnosol, carnosic acid Salvia eremophila (SE) with nitrites, biogenic amines (cadaverine, putrescine, histamine), N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), microbial counts, lipid oxidation indices, color values extract-treated sausage over 14 days storage. Sausage conta...

Urinary tract infection is one of the most commonly encountered genitourinary disease in pediatric practice. Diagnosis and management of urinary tract infection is a matter of concern in hospital settings and at community level. This study tries to establish the relevance of urine dipstick analysis and microscopy in detecting UTI. In this study a control group and a study group of equal number ...

BACKGROUND AND AIMS Periodontitis is a common chronic adult condition that implicates oxidative damage to gingival tissue, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. This study aimed at assessing the association between the nitro-oxidative stress and the periodontal tissues destructions in experimental rat periodontitis. METHODS Periodontitis was induced in 15 male albino rats by repetitive lesi...
