background: the aim of this study was to measure the concentrations (levels) of serum total proteins and advanced oxidation protein products as markers of oxidant mediated protein damage in the sera of patients with oral cancers. methods: the study consisted of the sera analyses of serum total protein and advanced oxidation protein products’ levels in 30 age and sex matched controls, 60 patient...

In the view of constantly increasing number of reports about participation of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) in pathogenesis of many diseases as well as in the pathomechanism of their biochemical disturbances and clinical complications, the possibility of treatment of these diseases by reducing of AOPPs concentration and prevention or inhibition of their formation poses the object ...

background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) is a common disorder of infertility which affects more than 100 million women. it is characterized by chronic anovulation, hyper androgenism and obesity. pcos is also associated with oxidative stress changes. objective: here, we aimed to investigate the level of antioxidants and oxidative stress in iranian women with pcos as a predictive factor for c...

The role of increased oxidative stress in the development of oxidative protein damage in aging have been reported. There is an important role of oxidative stress on development of dementia. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare AOPP levels in healthy aged person and aged person with dementia. AOPP levels were in t...

Background and Objectives: Diabetes vascular complications are the principal cause of death in the world. Therefore, we investigated the effect of pyridoxal phosphate (PLP) on the formation of atheromatous plaque formation and renal function in the atherosclerotic rats. Materials and Methods: Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 equal groups (ten rats in each group): normal, ath...

Objective: Retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes and leading cause of blindness throughout the world. The proteins as the most chemical substances in the cells are exposed to oxidative damages of free radicals. The aim of this study was to evaluate the values of protein oxidation biomarkers in diabetic patients with retinopathy. Materials and Methods: This study was done on 3...
