Materials and methods: Classical biochemical methods were used to determine plasma malondialdehyde (MDA), nitric oxide (NO), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione (GSH) levels. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to determine plasma insulin levels and reverse transcriptasepolymerase chain reaction was used to determine the levels of ...

TURKYILMAZ UNAL, B., L. Y. AKTAS and A. GUVEN, 2014. Effects of salinity on antioxidant enzymes and proline in leaves of barley seedlings in different growth stages. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 20: 883-887 The participation of antioxidant defence under mild and severe salt stress conditions (120 and 240 mM) on barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings in different growth stages, antioxidant enzyme (super...

cadmium is considered as a common residue in water and sediments which could readily enter aquatic organisms. the aim of this study was to evaluate the time- and concentration-dependent changes in antioxidant enzymes (sod and cat) activities as well as concentration of mda as a bi- product of lipid peroxidation in the liver of persian sturgeon, acipenser persicus , following cdcl 2 exposure at ...

A possible mechanism of liver fluke (Opisthorchis viverrini; Ov) -associated cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) genesis may be imbalance in responses of antioxidant enzymes and/or DNA repair enzymes which are the consequence of oxidative/nitrative stress, arising from inflammatory processes. This study aimed to investigate changes in the expression patterns of antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide di...

Effects of melatonin on the levels of antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT), peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GRd), and malondialdehyde (MDA), a lipid peroxidation marker, in erythrocytes of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were investigated. The results showed that melatonin statistically activated the CAT, POD, and GRd activity (P < 0.05). Moreover, MDA levels were significa...

In the present study, oxidative damage parameters in preeclamptic pregnant women were investigated and compared with healthy tissues. Antioxidant enzymes determined 53 placentas. The of free oxygen radicals placental tissue was by measuring antioxidant enzyme systems (The amounts lipid peroxidation (LPO), glutathione (GSH) catalase (CAT), myeloperoxidase (MPx) activities nitric oxide levels (NO...

the present study was designed to investigate the immunomodulatory activity of the ethanolic extract of tinospora cordifolia (family: menispermaceae)stem (climbing shrub, mango plant) at cellular level. for antioxidant study, the liver mitochondria were separated and the concentration of enzymes like lipid peroxidation (lpo), reduced glutathione (gsh), catalase (cat) and superoxide dismutase (s...

Biological membranes can be protected from lipid peroxidation by antioxidant enzymes including catalase (CAT) and selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidases 1 and 4 (GPx1 and GPx4). Unlike GPx1, GPx4 can directly detoxify lipid hydroperoxides in membranes without prior action of phospholipase A(2). We hypothesized that (1) GPx4 is enhanced in species that contain elevated levels of highly oxidi...
