BACKGROUND Free radical mediated oxidative stress is mainly involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications. Proteins and lipids are among the prime targets for oxidative stress. In the present study, we evaluated the oxidative stress in chronic IDDM patients by estimating the lipid peroxidation, protein oxidation, and antioxidants status. SUBJECTS AND DESIGN A total of 35 (15 IDDM + 2...

Background and Objectives: Oxidative stress (OS) associated with estrogen deficiency in menopause has been implicated in various complications of menopause. Some indices of OS, bone metabolism, and uric acid (UA) in postmenopausal women were assessed as possible predictors of gouty osteoarthritis. Materials and Methods: This case-control study enrolled 40 postmenopausal women and 60 premenopau...

The goal of the current paper is to explore the role of liver biopsy as a tool in detection of hepatic oxidative stress, with brief notes on different types of free radicals, antioxidants, hepatic and blood oxidative stress, and lipid peroxidation. Hepatic oxidative stress was investigated for many years in human and animals, but most of the studies performed in animals were concerned with stud...

The flesh of the Indian fresh-water mussel, Lamellidens marginalis (LM; Lamarck, 1819), is the byproduct of pearl culture and a cheap protein source. The present study investigated the antioxidant content of this ethnomedicinally cited species to outline its importance in food security and disease prevention. LM was found to be rich in polyphenol antioxidants with good correlation with its redu...

introduction: myocardial infarction (mi) is associated with increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidants. some studies have shown that exercise training increases the serum level antioxidants. therefore, this study investigated the effect of rehabilitation training on antioxidant status in patients with myocardial infarction. materials and methods: in this study, 20 patients with myocard...

objective(s):hyperglycemia mediated oxidative stress plays a key role in the pathogenesis of diabetic complications like nephropathy. in the present study, we evaluated the effect of ethanolic extract of ensete superbum seeds (esse) on renal dysfunction and oxidative stress in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. materials and methods:glucose, hba1c, total protein, albumin, renal function mark...

background: nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (nash), a progressive stage of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (nafld), is characterized by steatosis with inflammation. investigations have suggested that oxidative stress may play an important role in the progress of nafld to nash. to provide further insights into beneficial effects of antioxidants in nash prevention, we employed two manganese-superox...

Oxidative stress is considered to be involved in the pathophysiology of all cancers. In order to evaluate the total oxidant/antioxidant status in patients with thyroid cancer and to investigate the relationship between oxidative stress parameters and serum thyroid profiles among thyroid cancer patients and various controls, we determined oxidative status including total antioxidant status (TAS)...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to investigate the association between oxidative stress and bone mineral density (BMD) according to menopausal status of Korean women. METHODS A total of 2,232 women who visited to the health promotion center at Pusan National University Hospital between 2010 and 2014 were included in this cross-sectional study. Laboratory tests, such as uric acid, albumin, ...
