UNLABELLED It is possible that brucellosis may be related to increase free radical production and antioxidant depletion. Thus, in the present study we aimed to evaluate the oxidative status in patient with brucellosis and healthy controls. METHODS This study includes the patients with brucellosis diagnosed by clinical findings and positive agglutination titer. The paraoxonase, ceruloplasmin, ...

INTRODUCTION The ethiopathogenesis of tympanosclerosis has not been completely under- stood yet. Recent studies have shown that free oxygen radicals are important in the formation of tympanosclerosis. Melatonin and Vitamin C are known to be a powerful antioxidant, interacts directly with Reactive Oxygen Species and controls free radical-mediated tissue damage. OBJECTIVE To demonstrate the pos...

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease and has complex pathogenesis. There no enough data related with oxidative stress in acne vulgaris. We purposed to assess total oxidant antioxidant status included 32 patients 35 healthy controls this study. Global Grading System (GAGS) scores were calculated. Serum (TOS) (TAS) levels evaluated index (OSI) was calculated by proportion of the TOS TAS. Mean G...

The aim of the present study was to determine whether the consumption of wild blueberries (Vaccinium angustifolium), a concentrated source of non-nutritive antioxidant phytochemicals, would enhance postprandial serum antioxidant status in healthy human subjects. A single-blinded crossover study was performed in a group of eight middle-aged male subjects (38-54 years). Subjects consumed a high-f...

the present study examined the antioxidant defense of glutamine on plasma and liver antioxidant status in broilers under phs with respect to changes in the levels of lipid peroxidation marker malondialdehyde (mda), total antioxidant status (tas) and the activities of anti peroxidative enzymes [superoxide dismutase (sod) and glutathione dependent antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase (gpx)]...

Purpose: The effect of the aqueous extract of Ziziphus mauritiana leaf on hepatic lipid peroxidation, reduced glutathione and total antioxidant status was studied in chronic alcohol-induced liver damage. Method: Alcohol-induced liver toxicity was created by oral administration of 40% alcohol solution (v/v, 1ml/100g) to rats for 6 weeks. Other groups of rats were pretreated with 200 and 400 mg/k...

OBJECTIVE To compare paraoxonase activity and changes in oxidative status in asthmatic children and healthy children by determining serum paraoxonase activity and total oxidative status, total antioxidant capacity and lipid hydroperoxidation. METHODS Forty two asthmatic children were compared with 32 healthy children of similar age and sex. To evaluate the paraoxonase and oxidative status, to...
