abstract background and objective: diabetes mellitus is associated with cardiomyopathic changes, can be mediated by an oxidative stress. we aimed to study the effects of regular aerobic training and arbutin supplementation on total oxidant status (tos) and total antioxidant (tas) status in the cardiac tissue of diabetic rats. material and methods: fourty-two male wistar rats with an average wei...

several lichen species have been used for medicinal purposes throughout the ages, and they were reported to be effective in the treatment of different disorders including tuberculosis, hemorrhoids, ulcer, dysentery and cancer. it is revealed that they may be easily accessible sources of natural drugs that could be used as a possible food supplement or in pharmaceutical industry after their safe...

Abstract. The redox potential of goat serum was assessed by different spectrophotometric assays. Among them, three methods are commonly applied for the evaluation oxidative (reactive oxygen metabolites, ROMs, and total oxidant status, TOS) nitrosative (NO⚫ NOx) stress, four antioxidant status: capacity (TAC) based on ferric reducing ability plasma (FRAP), activity (TAA) reduction coloured ABTS⚫...

conclusions therefore, our results suggest that although administration of 300 mg/kg of calendula officinalis extract showed salutary effects on anti-oxidant profile, yet its protective effects on anti-diabetic and regenerative properties on nephropathy were ambiguous and require more investigations. background chronic hyperglycemia leads to microvascular and macrovascular complications such as...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to investigate the levels of oxidative stress including total oxidant status, total antioxidant status, and paraoxonase activity in patients with a diagnosis of acute appendicitis. METHODS Seventy-three patients who underwent surgery with a preoperative diagnosis of acute appendicitis (Group I) were included into the study. The control group (Group II) con...

Acne vulgaris is a common skin disease and has complex pathogenesis. There no enough data related with oxidative stress in acne vulgaris. We purposed to assess total oxidant antioxidant status included 32 patients 35 healthy controls this study. Global Grading System (GAGS) scores were calculated. Serum (TOS) (TAS) levels evaluated index (OSI) was calculated by proportion of the TOS TAS. Mean G...
