conclusions the results of our study proposed that there is a loss or inactivation of antioxidant factors, coupled with increased lipid peroxidation during the procedure of hd, possibly through the dialyzer membrane, with probable consequences on the severity of illness. results the sod, gpx and cat were decreased after hd (p < 0.05). also, frap was shown to decrease after hd (p < 0.05). howeve...

BACKGROUND Essential thrombocythemia (ET) is a clonal disease in which thrombotic and hemorrhagic complications are common. Our aim in this study was to investigate whether oxidative stress in ET patients increased compared to healthy volunteers and to investigate whether there is a relationship between vascular events and oxidative status parameters in ET patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We de...

Introduction: Oxidative stress is one of the important pathologic factors involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Antioxidants as neutralizing agents of free radicals are one of the treatment options for these diseases and antioxidant agents that can pass through blood brain barrier have beneficial effects. In the present research, the antioxidant effect of a new iron ...

Abstract Background β−Thalassemic children have oxidative stress and antioxidant deficiency even without iron overload status. In these patients, tissue damage due to oxidative stress may be occurred. Also, it seems that thalassemic patients have higher levels of ALT, AST therefore, the main aim of the present study was to determine the benefits of vitamin E as an antioxidant supplements in β...

background: there is growing evidence that damage to spermatozoa by reactive oxygen species (ros) play a key role in male infertility. objective: the aim of the present study was to assess the antioxidant status of seminal plasma by measuring total antioxidant capacity (tac) and activities of catalase and superoxide dismutase (sod) in men with asthenozoospermia, asthenoteratozoospermia and olig...

The aim of study was to investigate the effect of yeast cell walls (mannanoligosaccharides – MOS) supplemented to a sow’s diet on some blood parameters of sows and their piglets. The investigations were carried out in two experiments with two groups of 30 sows each. The sows of groups 1 and 3 (control) received the basal diet, groups 2 and 4 (MOS) – the same diets, supplemented with yeast cell ...
