BACKGROUND/AIMS Previous studies have shown the presence of high levels of glycoxidation and lipid peroxidation products in association with atherosclerosis in patients with end-stage kidney disease. Acetates are commonly used buffer for correcting metabolic acidosis in hemodialysis (HD) patients. Since the toxic effects of acetates are well established, acetate-free citrate dialysate (AFD) has...

processes are involved in the development of diabetes. Abstract The lipid profile levels were found to be elevated in T2DM diabetic patients. The study was designed to find out the correlation between lipid peroxidation, lipid profile and T2DM. Degree of lipid peroxidation was measured in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) along with lipid profile and blood glucose in diabetes mellitus. Totally 50 ...

background: obesity is associated with increased lipid peroxidation. it has also been suggested that risk of lipid peroxida­tion increases with increasing body iron stores. the aim of this study was to examine the association of body iron status with the concentration of plasma malondialdehyde (p-mda) as a marker of lipid peroxidation in obese and non-obese women. methods: in a case control stu...

introduction: electromagnetic fields (emfs) can influence the biological system by the formation of free radicals in cells. the emfs are able to deteriorate defense system against free radicals that leads to oxidative stress (os). lipid peroxidation process (lpo) is an index of oxidative stress, and the malandialdehyde (mda) is the final product of lpo. vitamin e is the most important antioxida...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the level of oxidative damage to membrane lipids due to the breast cancer surgery in the early postoperative period. PATIENTS AND METHODS Blood samples were collected on the preoperative day and 24 hours postoperatively in 71 women operated for breast cancer, and preoperatively in 38 female patients with benign breast tumour. Lipid peroxidation (LPO) in the blood sample...

Oxidative stress may play a central role in the onset of many diseases during the neonatal period. Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a marker of lipid peroxidation. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new marker, the malondialdehyde adduct to hemoglobin (MDA-Hb), which is measured in red blood cells (RBCs) and thus does not require that an additional blood sample be drawn. In this prospective study,...

objective: free radicals generated by ionizing radiation attack various cellular components such as lipids. the lung is a very radiosensitive organ and its damage is a doselimiting factor in radiotherapy treatments. melatonin (mlt), the major product of the pineal gland acts as a radioprotective agent. this study aims to investigate the radioprotective effects of mlt on malondialdehyde (mda) le...

Background Lipid peroxidation is known to cause various impairments to sperm cells and may play a major role in the etiology of male infertility. Asthenospermia is the main factor of male infertility and has significantly higher level of peroxidation than in normozoospermic males. MaterialsAndMethods Using thiobarbituric acid (TBA) assay procedure, we have determined the level of lipid peroxida...

PURPOSE To compare the antioxidant enzyme activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and the levels of lipid peroxidation product malondialdehyde (MDA) in blood samples of thyroid cancer patients compared to healthy controls. METHODS 43 control subjects (mean age 44+/-13 years) and 43 patients (43+/-13 years) presented with multinodular goiter whose fine needle ...
