objective: oxidative stress is a serious complication in diabetic patients. black tea and also sour tea contained some flavonoids with antioxidant properties and may be helpful in prevention of lipid oxidation. the aim of this study was to compare the effects of sour tea and black tea on in-vitro copper induced serum lipids oxidizability in diabetic patients. materials and methods: in this sequ...

Objective: Diabetes is the most common metabolic disease. One of the most common problems in diabetic patients is atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease which induced by hyperlipidemia. Also there has been currently great interest in the potential contribution of oxidative stress in development of diabetes complications. The present study was performed to associate between lipid oxidizability a...

OBJECTIVE: Oxidative stress is a serious complication in diabetic patients. Black tea and also sour tea contained some flavonoids with antioxidant properties and may be helpful in prevention of lipid oxidation. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of sour tea and black tea on in-vitro copper induced serum lipids oxidizability in diabetic patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this se...

The decreased oxidizability of plasma lipoproteins is related to the increased vitamin E intake and its association with a relatively lower incidence of coronary heart disease has been proposed. We investigated the effect of the in vivo vitamin E supplementation on the oxidizability of serum lipids in patients with ischemic heart disease and a moderate hypercholesterolemia. Thirty-two patients ...

background: hypertensive patients are highly susceptible to oxidizability. although hypertension is common among iranians, few data are available about lipid oxidation status in the involved people. the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum lipids levels and susceptibility of lipids to oxidation in hypertensive patients. materials and method: fasting serum lipids and ...

Oxidizability of lipids in homogeneous solution varies linearly with the extent of their unsaturation. In vitro cellular, as well as in vivo, studies of oxidizability have generally relied upon chemical indicators of peroxidation such as thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances. To examine the oxidizability of lipids in cells, we have measured oxygen uptake and, using electron paramagnetic reson...

The effects of six flavonoids viz., apigenin, genistein, morin, naringin, pelargonidin and quercetin on the susceptibility of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to oxidative modification were investigated. Flavonoids were added to plasma and incubated for 3 hr at 37 degrees C, and the LDL fraction was separated by ultracentrifugation. Oxidizability of LDL was estimated by measuring conjugated diene ...

BACKGROUND The susceptibility of plasma lipids to oxidation is thought to be a factor contributing to atherogenic risk. Various groups have studied the in vitro oxidizability of isolated LDL and examined the effects of conventional antioxidants. The drawbacks associated with the isolation of LDL for evaluation of in vitro oxidizability, however, have limited the application of this measurement ...

A comparison is made of the antioxidant activity of a water-soluble form of alpha-tocopherol complexed with bovine serum albumin (alpha-T X BSA) with that of micellar alpha-tocopherol and aqueous 6-hydroxy-2,5,7,8-tetramethylchroman-2-carboxylate (Trolox) to inhibit autoxidation of linoleic acid in sodium dodecyl sulfate micelles. The peroxyl radical trapping ability of alpha-T X BSA compares f...

Free radical-mediated peroxidation of biological molecules, especially of lipids, is implicated in the pathogenesis of a number of diseases like multiple sclerosis. Low concentration of antioxidant vitamins: beta carotene, retinol, alpha tocopherol and ascorbic acid have been observed in serum or cerebrospinal fluid of multiple sclerosis patients. On the basis of these observations, we studied ...
