OBJECTIVE To study the plasma lipid profile and lipid peroxidation in overweight or obese children and adolescents receiving care at the pediatric endocrinology clinic in HOSPED/UFRN, a university hospital. METHODS Three groups were studied: overweight (n = 15), obese (n = 30) and control (n = 21) children and adolescents. To evaluate plasma lipid profile, total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, ...

Public health concerns have been associated with the widespread consumption of energy drinks. However, there is a dearth of scientific data on the biochemical effects of these energy beverages. This study aimed to investigate the effect of caffeinated energy drinks commonly consumed in Nigeria on plasma lipids, lipid peroxidation marker and liver function indices in albino rats. Male Wistar rat...

BACKGROUND The ε4 allele of Apolipoprotein E is involved in lipid metabolism. Oxidative stress produces an increase in lipid peroxidation that has been implicated in the pathogenic cascade in Alzheimer's disease. This study estimated the effect of the ε4 allele, malondialdehyde and lipid levels on the risk for Alzheimer's disease. METHODS A total of 41 control subjects and 73 patients with Al...

BACKGROUND Preeclampsia is characterized by increased lipid peroxidation and diminished antioxidant capacity; however, there is no consensus as to the extent of these conditions. OBJECTIVE To assess the association of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status with preeclampsia quantitatively using meta-analysis. DESIGN Systematic review and meta-analysis. SEARCH STRATEGY Studies were iden...

objective: type 2 diabetes mellitus is a complex metabolic disorder with adverse cardiovascular risk. chromium (cr) is an essential nutrient and its role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism has not been clarified especially in iran. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of chromium picolinate administration on blood glucose, hba1c, lipid profile and lipid peroxidation in type 2 diab...

Paraquat, a widely used herbicide, was found to cause a marked stimulation of lipid peroxidation in the human placental microsomes in vitro. Both NADPH and chelated iron were necessary to observe paraquat-stimulated lipid peroxidation. The malondialdehyde accumulation in the incubation medium increased with increase in time, protein and paraquat concentration. The reaction did not exhibit the i...

The present study was undertaken to study the free radical activity in malaria patients suffering from plasmodium falciparum (n=14) and plasmodium vivax (n=21) against the healthy control subjects (n=25). Lipid peroxidation was assessed by measuring serum lipid peroxide in both groups of malaria patients by using Malondialdehyde as standard. The serum Ceruloplasmin is also studied along with se...

This study was designed with an aim to evaluate the protective effects of reduced glutathione on flutamide-induced lipid peroxidation and also changes in cholesterol content. Blood of male white New Zealand rabbit was used as lipid source for the models. Lipid peroxidation study was performed by measuring the malondialdehyde, 4-hydroxy-2-nonenal, reduced glutathione and nitric oxide content of ...

It has been proven by several studies that Fusarium mycotoxins induce oxidative stress in animals, consequently inducing lipid peroxidation, which the glutathione system can neutralize. A short-term (3-day) vivo feeding trial was performed with laying hens using a double dose of EU recommendation for mycotoxin contamination (T-2 toxin 0.5 mg/kg feed; deoxynivalenol (DON) 10 fumonisin B1 (FB1) 4...

iron is a pro-oxidant cofactor that may be linked to atherosclerosis progression. free iron catalyzes the generation of free radicals and free radicals promote the oxidation of lipids. reduction of body iron stores secondary to blood donation has been hypothesized to reduce lipid peroxidation. the aim of this study was to evaluate the association between blood donation and antioxidant enzymes a...
