BIR, L.S., DEMIR, S., ROTA, S. and KÖSEOĞLU, M. Increased Serum Malondialdehyde Levels in Chronic Stage of Ischemic Stroke. Tohoku J. Exp. Med., 2006, 208 (1), 33-39 ── Serum lipoperoxidation products such as malondialdehyde (MDA) reflect oxidative stress. There are contradictory results addressing the levels of lipoperoxidation products in chronic phase of ischemic stroke. In the present study...

BACKGROUND Formation of Malondialdehyde (MDA), a free radical, in Tuberculosis patients does occur when Tubercule bacilli induces reactive oxygen species as a result of phagocytic respiratory burst. OBJECTIVES This study evaluated the effect of treatment on plasma level of Malondialdehyde among patients infected with Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Osogbo South Western Nigeria. METHODOLOGY De...

Breast cancer is one of the most commonest cancer after the cervical cancer in Indian women. The balance between oxidant and antioxidant has been suggested as an important factor for initiation and progression of breast cancer. The aim of the study is to determine erythrocyte superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) activities as antioxidant enzymes and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in women h...

Glutaraldehyde treatment of (125)I-labeled low density lipoprotein ((125)I-native-LDL) produced a modified LDL ((125)I-glut-LDL) with a molecular weight of 10 x 10(6) or more. Malondialdehyde treatment of (125)I-native-LDL produced a product ((125)I-MDA-LDL) with a molecular weight not appreciably different from that of the original lipoprotein. However, the electrophoretic mobility of MDA-LDL ...

Lipid peroxidation involves the oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids in biomembranes and generates a variety of aldehydic products including malondialdehyde (MDA). To demonstrate the occurrence of lipid peroxidation in biological systems, the production of MDA has been shown to be a relevant indicator. Therefore, we describe a new method for measurement of free malondialdehyde...

OBJECTIVES To determine the oxidant - antioxidant imbalance in asthmatic children, by measuring the levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) as an oxidant marker of lipid peroxidation as well as antioxidant compounds like vitamin C, vitamin E and uric acid and to investigate whether their concentrations are associated with more severe asthma. METHODS This case controlled prospective study was conducte...

Malondialdehyde (MDA) is one of the most frequently used indicators of lipid peroxidation. To generate reliable reference intervals for plasma malondialdehyde (P-MDA), a reference sample group was established in Funen, Denmark. The group consisted of 213 individuals (107 men, 106 women), ages 20-79 years. P-MDA was measured in EDTA-treated plasma after derivatization by thiobarbituric acid (TBA...

Purpose: To estimate the effect of malondialdehyde (MDA) level on fetal distress.
 Methods: Meta-analyses randomized controlled interventions were performed by searching 8 electronic databases (CNKI, VIP, CBM, WANFANG, Embase, PubMed, Cochrane, and Web Science) from 1980 – to date for trials determine any intrapartum distress. A metaanalysis within a frequentist framework was quality incon...

Beta-thromboglobulin (betaTG) and malondialdehyde-like material (MDA-LM) plasma levels were studied in patients affected by transient ischemic attacks (TIA) after 2-4 months from the last episode. BetaTG and MDA-LM values were significantly higher in TIA patients than in 20 controls matched for age. No correlation between MDA-LM and betaTG was seen. This study suggests that in vivo platelet act...
