The present study was conducted to evaluate some of the components of antioxidant defense system and oxidative damage in 20
male patients of alcoholic liver disease (ALD). The results were compared with 20 healthy male smokers and 20 healthy male
non-smokers volunteers. Patients were subjected to detailed clinical examination and laboratory investigations. Blood samples
were collected for estimating reduced glutathione (GSH), total thiols (T-SH) malondialdehyde (MDA), transaminases (AST, ALT),
glutathione-S-transferease (GST) and gammaglutamyl transferase (GGT). Serum aspartate amino transferase (AST)/alanine amino
transferase (ALT) ratio was significantly (p<0.01) reduced in ALD patients as compared to the controls. However, the core
of utility of MDA and GST was found to be significantly (p<0.01) increased in ALD patients compared to controls. There was
a significant negative correlation of MDA with both GSH and TSH. Plasma GGT levels were significantly (p<0.01) increased in
alcoholics and the enzyme showed a significant positive correlation with MDA. These results give enough evidence of increased
oxidative stress and compromised antioxidant defense system in patients with ALD. 相似文献

The present, study was conducted to determine the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) as an index of free radial induced lipid
peroxidation and antioxidant vitamins-vitamins A, vitamin C and vitamin E in 75 confirmed cases of urolithiasis. Significantly
high level of MDA (p<0.001) with significantly low levels of vitamin E (p<0.001) and vitamin A (p<0.001) with no significant
decrease in vitamin C (p>0.05) were observed in the plasma of urolithiasis cases as compared to normal controls. In conclusion,
it appears that a role of lipid peroxidation and oxidative function exists in the pathogenesis of urolithiasis. But, the exact
mechanism how this occurs remains to be elucidated. 相似文献

The present study demonstrates the possibility of increased lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in both maternal and
fetal erythrocytes as markers of oxygen radical activity during intrauterine growth retardation. The erythrocyte MDA levels
were significantly elevated in mothers of IUGR babies when compared to controls (p<0.01). The endogenous protein damage due
to oxidative stress was significantly higher in IUGR mothers when compared to controls (p<0.05). Similarly the proteolytic
activity in erythrocyte lysates against oxidatively damaged hemoglobin was significantly increased in mothers of IUGR babies
compared to controls (p<0.001).
In fetuses born with IUGR, both lipid peroxidation and proteolytic activity were significantly increased when compared to
normal newborns (p<0.01).
The result of this study indicates that oxidative stress was induced both in IUGR babies and their mothers which is manifested
as increased lipid peroxidation and protein oxidant damage. 相似文献

Hyperglycemia and dyslipidemia in diabetes mellitus induce increased lipid peroxidation and peroxyl radical formation, an
important mechanism in genesis of microangiopathy. We took up a study on oxidative stress, measured by plasma MDA and antioxidant
vitamin status in type − 2 DM patients with and without retinopathy and compared them with a control non-diabetic group. Lipid
peroxidation marker MDA was significantly elevated (p < 0.001) in both the diabetic groups whereas, serum vitamin E and vitamin
C registered a significant fall (p<0.001) as compared to controls. Our correlation study revealed a significant positive association
between plasma MDA with both fasting and 2hr post prandial plasma glucose (r=0.81, p < 0.001, r=0.92, p <0.001) suggesting
the role of hyperglycemia in free radical production. Plasma MDA also depicted significant positive relation (p< 0.001) with
all lipid parameters except serum HDLc pointing the role of dyslipidemia towards lipid peroxidation. Plasma MDA level was
also found to be negatively correlated with both the vitamins (p<0.001, p<0.001) in the study group explaining their protective
consumption in the oxidative process prevailing in diabetic retinopathy. 相似文献

Generation of reactive oxygen species is an important factor in the development and maintenance of rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
in humans. This study was undertaken to investigate interplay among oxidants, antioxidants and pathogenesis of Rheumatoid
arthritis. Serum levels of lipid peroxides, nitric oxide, vitamin E and ratio of calcium/phosphorus in RA patients were determined
and compared with normal healthy controls. Significant increases in lipid peroxides (p<0.001) and nitric oxide (p<0.001) levels
were found in patients presenting with RA as compared to controls. Whereas significant decrease in vitamin E (P<0.001) and
calcium/phosphorus ratio (p<0.001) were found in Rheumatoid arthritis patients as compared to controls. Positive correlation
was found between lipid peroxides and nitric oxide as well as between vitamin E and calcium. While lipid peroxides and nitric
oxide were correlated negatively with vitamin E. whereas negative correlation was observed between MDA and Calcium/Phosphorus
ratio in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Our findings suggest that there is a close association between bone loss and
oxidative threat in patients presenting with Rheumatoid arthritis. 相似文献

The changes in the erythrocyte lipid peroxidation products (MDA), levels of glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid and plasma vitamin
E (non enzymatic antioxidant parameters) and activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase
(GPX), catalase in erythrocytes and plasma glutathione - S - transferase (GST) activity were estimated in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis. This work was undertaken to assess oxidative stress and anti oxidant status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
It was observed that there was a significant increase in erythrocyte MDA levels, activities of SOD, GPX, plasma GST and a significant decrease in erythrocyte GSH, ascorbic acid, plasma vitamin E levels and catalse activity in
patients with rheumatoid arthritis when compared to controls. The results of our study suggests higher oxygen free radical
production, evidenced by increased MDA and decreased GSH, ascorbic acid, vitamin E and Catalase activity, support to the oxidative
stress in rheumatoid arthritis. The increased activities of antioxidant enzymes may be a compensatory regulation in response
to increased oxidative stress. 相似文献

The present study demonstrates the incidence of increased lipid peroxidation and protein oxidation in both maternal and fetal
erythrocytes as markers of oxygen radical activity in different complications of pregnancy. In fetuses born after premature
rupture of membranes, lipid peroxidation was significantly elevated as indicated by increased malondialdehyde levels (p<0.05)
as compared to controls. Proteolytic activity in the erythrocytes of mothers in this group was also significantly high (p<0.01).
In patients delivered by lower segment cesarian section, lipid peroxidation and proteolytic activity in maternal erythrocytes
were significantly high (p<0.05 and p<0.001 respectively). In patients with prolonged second stage of labour, lipid peroxidation
and proteolytic activity in maternal erythrocytes was significantly higher than in controls (p<0.001 and p<0.05 respectively).
In this group, endogenous protein damage due to oxidative stress was significantly high both in the mother and the fetus (p<0.001
and p<0.05 respectively). 相似文献

Oxidative stress has been proposed as one of the causes involved in idiopathic fetal growth restriction (IFGR). However, the exact relationship between oxidative stress and IFGR is not understood. This study aimed at understanding the role of oxidative stress and antioxidant status in IFGR materno-fetal dyads and matched controls. 75 materno-fetal dyads with IFGR were enrolled with equal number of normal low risk controls. Malondialdehyde (MDA) levels were measured as marker of oxidative stress, while paraoxonase-1 (PON1) activity and total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of serum were measured as markers of antioxidant status. MDA levels were increased in both maternal and cord blood of IFGR neonates as compared to controls (p < 0.001). TAC of serum were found to be decreased in IFGR (both maternal and cord blood) as compared to controls (p < 0.001; p < 0.05, respectively). PON1 activity was found to be decreased in the IFGR mothers while it was found increased in IFGR cord blood (p < 0.01; p < 0.001)). IFGR is a state of increased oxidative stress. Decreased PON1 enzymatic activity in mothers is also associated with IFGR. 相似文献

Serum lipid profile, apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), malondialdehyde levels(MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed
in 12 cases of xanthelasma with and without coronary artery disease (CAD)/hypertension (HTN) and results are compared with
healthy controls. Dyslipidemia was found in 65% cases of xanthelasma as compared to 20% healthy controls. Xanthelasma patients
had significantly high malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (p<0.01) and significantly decreased (p<0.05) SOD activity as compared
to controls. Among xanthelasma patients, xanthelasma with CAD/HTN showed higher total cholesterol (236±32.7 vs 188±24.7 mg/dl),
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (157±35.5 vs 113±16 mg/dl) and Apo-B (120.5±9.4 vs 114±19.2 mg/dl) levels as compared
to xanthelasma without CAD/HTN. Results of our study indicate that xanthelasma patients with increased apo-B, MDA and decreased
SOD need cardiovascular monitoring. 相似文献

Osteoporosis encompasses a wide spectrum of conditions associated with imbalance of osteoclastic and osteoblastic activities.
The increased activity of osteoclasts leads to increased free radical formation and hence lipid peroxidation. Present study
probes into the role of antioxidants as a palliative treatment for osteoporosis. It involved 50 healthy controls and 75 clinically
diagnosed osteoporosis patients. Both the groups underwent baseline assessment of biochemical markers viz. osteoblastic markers:
serum Alkaline phosphatase. Free or ionic calcium and Inorganic phosphorus, osteoclastic markers: serum Tartarate resistant
acid phosphatase and Malondialdehyde and the antioxidant status: serum Superoxide dismutase and Erythrocyte reduced glutathione.
The osteoporotic group was then divided into groups A (Vitamin E-Evinal 400 mg), B (Vitamin C-Celin 500 mg), C (Vitamin E+C-Evinal+Celin)
for antioxidant supplementation for a period of 90 days. The results reveal that there is significant fall in concentration
of serum MDA (p<0.001), TrACP (p<0.01). Improvement in antioxidant status is reflected by significant rise in concentration
of serum SOD (p<0.001) and erythrocyte GSH (p<0.001) after 90 days of antioxidant supplementation in osteoporosis. The findings
indicate that on the whole bone status improved with prolonged antioxidant vitamin supplementation, which can be used as a
palliative treatment for osteoporosis. The efficacy is not affected whether the vitamins are administered singly or conjointly. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is thought to be involved in the pathophysiology of malaria, especially in pregnancy where natural resistance
is markedly reduced. In the present study we investigated oxidative stress in 315 pregnant women out of which 159 had Plasmodium
falciparum malaria and 154 controls. We evaluated the level of lipid peroxidation products (MDA level) in the plasma, the
activity of erythrocyte antioxidant defense enzymes, superoxide dismutase (SOD, EC: 1.15.1.1) and catalase (Cat, EC: 1.11.1.6)
as well as the ability to resist oxidative stress by the FRAP (Ferric Reducing Ability of Plasma) assay. Total erythrocyte
protein levels were also examined. For the two groups of patients, several differences between the biochemical parameters
tested were found. Median parasitaemia in women with malaria was 25,392 parasites/μl of blood (Range1200–82000), while in
controls we had no parasites found in thin and thick smears. Levels of lipid peroxidation products (MDA) were significantly
higher in patients with parasitemia than in healthy asymptomatic volunteers (mean: 0.844 ± 0.290 and 0.384 ± 0.129 respectively,
p<0.001). This MDA level was higher in primigravidea and also correlates well with parasite density (p<0.001). Catalase activity
in erythrocytes of women with malaria did not differ statistically from that of controls. In contrast, SOD activity of patients
with malaria was found to be significantly higher than that of controls (mean: 0.7899 ± 0.2777 and 0.4263 ± 0.2629 respectively,
p<0.05). FRAP values declined, from parasitemic patients (1.4619 ± 0.6565) compare to controls (2.4396 ± 0.8883, p<0.05),
particularly in the first and third trimester of gestation (p<0.05 and p<0.01 respectively). Finally, total erythrocyte protein
concentrations of women with malaria did not differ from that of the controls. Our results suggest an imbalance between oxidants
and antioxidants in pregnant women suffering from malaria, a situation which could lead to severe damage for either the mother
or the fetus. Therefore, further research should be done to assess the potential benefits of antioxidant supplementation for
the pregnant women suffering from malaria. 相似文献

Hemodialysis represents a chronic stress status for its recipients. Many hypotheses state that this may be associated with
oxidative stress. Thus, there may be deficiency of antioxidants like erythrocytic superoxide dismutase, catalase, vitamin
E or increased generation of free radicals like superoxide anions. A study was carried out to investigate oxidant and antioxidant
status in chronic renal failure patients undergoing hemodialysis and effect of vitamin E supplementation on these two status.
Blood samples were collected from patients before and after hemodialysis and from controls. The samples were analyzed for
quantitation of MDA as index of lipid peroxide, nitric oxide, vitamin E, vitamin C and enzymatic antioxidants namely erythrocyte
SOD and catalase. As compared to controls, the levels of serum MDA were significantly increased and activities of erythrocyte
SOD and catalase, levels of serum nitric oxide, serum vitamin E and plasma vitamin C were significantly decreased both before
and after hemodialysis. The efficiency of vitamin E therapy in hemodialysis patients was assessed by re-evaluating oxidant
and antioxidant status of same patients after supplementation of vitamin E. Vitamin E supplementation caused decrease in serum
MDA and increase in levels of serum nitric oxide, vitamin E, vitamin C and activities of erythrocytic SOD and catalase. Our
results suggest the presence of oxidative stress and the possible preventive role of vitamin E therapy in hemodialysis patients. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to estimate the serum concentrations of oxidative stress markers-lipid hydroperoxide (MDA-Malondialdehyde),
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), nitrite; and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) — a measure of total antioxidant capacity
in serum. Serum nitrite levels were high in fertile women than in infertile women (p<0.001), whereas MDA was high in infertile
women than in fertile group (p<0.018). On classifying the entire group of women with infertility based on the etiology, serum
MDA and LDH levels were higher in women with infertility due to unexplained factor than in women with other causes contributing
to infertility compared to controls (p<0.001, p<0.02). A positive correlation among serum prolactin and nitrite suggested
that hyperprolactinemia could contribute to infertility by inducing oxidative damage. Serum FRAP levels showed no significant
difference in the groups studied. Lipid peroxidation was high in women with unexplained infertility which may be due to hyperprolactinemia. 相似文献

This study aimed to correlate the oxidative stress marker levels in saliva with the clinical stage based on mouth opening, fibrotic bands and histopathological grades of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) patients. The study included patients clinically diagnosed with OSF (n = 63) and equal number of age and gender matched controls. Patients with OSF were defined by mouth opening stage, fibrotic bands and histopathological grades. Unstimulated saliva from both control and OSF patients were analysed for oxidative markers like lipid peroxides (LPO), non-enzymic antioxidants [reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C] and enzymatic antioxidants [glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD)] and correlated with different stages and grades. Total salivary protein and LPO were significantly increased in OSF group with no significant change in the levels of GSH compared to controls. In OSF patients, a significant decrease in the levels of vitamins A, C and E was observed. The activities of salivary SOD and GPx were significantly decreased in OSF patients compared to controls. These changes significantly correlated with the increasing and differing grades of OSF that reflects increased oxidative stress with the progress of OSF. 相似文献

Serum ferroxidase and albumin levels were determined in 98 patients of tubercuiosis, of whom 49 were freshly diagnosed, sputum
positive (group-I) & 49 were completely treated patients (group-II). Forty nine age and sex matched healthy individuals were
taken as controls. Mean±SD of serum ferroxidase and albumin levels in controls, group-I and group-II was found to be 864.35±106.35
IU/L & 3.91±0.234 g/dL, 1603.76±222.65 IU/L & 3.24±0.518 g/dL and 1001.78±201.63 IU/L & 3.82±0.43 g/dL, respectively. Serum
ferroxidase in group I was significantly higher as compared to controls and group-II (p<0.01). The decreased levels of serum
albumin in group I, as compared to control and group-II was statistically significant (p<0.01). Serum ferroxidase: albumin
ratio (Ferroxidase in International Unit per gram of albumin) in group I (50.47±10.36 IU/g) was significantly higher than
controls (22.22±3.3 IU/g), (p<0.001) while in group II it was significantly lower (26.72±7.18 IU/g, p<0.001) than group-I
and close to control values. Serum ferroxidase: albumin ratio (IU/g) can therefore be incorporated as a surrogate marker to
assist in diagnosis and prognosis of pulmonary tuberculosis. 相似文献

This work was undertaken to investigate correlation between oxidative stress and initiation of pathogenesis of pregnancy induced
hypertension (PIH). Fifty primigravidae in age group of 20–35 years and gestational age 28–42 weeks with PIH were taken as
cases. Twenty healthy primigravidae with no medical and surgical complications of pregnancy and with blood pressure ≤140/90
mm Hg served as controls. The cases were again subgrouped as severe preeclampsia (12 in number) and mild pre-eclampsia (38
in number). All of them were evaluated for serum malondialdehyde (MDA), Serum vitamin E and plasma vitamin C levels. The serum
MDA levels were raised significantly in women with mild preeclampsia (P<0.01) and in women with severe preeclampsia (P<0.01)
in comparison to normal primi gravida. The serum vitamin E levels were decreased in primi gravida with mild preeclampsia (p<0.1)
and in primi with severe pre eclampsia (P<0.1) in comparison to normal primi gravida but the fall was not statistically significant.
There was a significant fall (P<0.05) in the vitamin C levels in primi with mild preeclampsia than in the normal primi. The
vitamin C levels in severe preeclamptic patients were lower than the normal primi but the fall was not statistically significant
(P=0.10). The serum MDA and vitamin E showed a negative correlation in all the cases. The serum MDA and plasma vitamin C also
showed a negative correlation in the control and study group. This observation suggests that in hypertensive disorders of
pregnancy there is an imbalance between lipid peroxidation and antioxidant vitamin status because of oxidative stress. The
decreased serum concentrations of the antioxidant vitamins supports the hypothesis that lipid peroxidation is an important
causative factor in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia. The rise in antioxidants is probably to compensate the increased peroxide
load in severe preeclampsia. 相似文献

This study confirms the fact that in different respiratory disorders, the status of plasma oxidants and antioxidants shifts
from normal. The status of oxidants in plasma as represented by malondialdehyde (MDA) levels increased significantly in the
conditions of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), emphysema, bronchiectasis and bronchial asthma. The two vitamin
antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E showed decreased levels than in controls. In patients with COPD the endogenous antioxidant
viz. reduced glutathione (GSH) estimated from whole blood was comparable to that of control group, whereas in patients with
emphysema, bronchiectasis and bronchial asthma, GSH concentration was increased to that of control group. The activity of
enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) was significantly decreased in all study groups. Pulmonary function tests were found to
have no correlation with MDA and antioxidants 相似文献

As antioxidants play a protective role in the pathophysiology of diabetes and cardiovascular diseases, understanding the physiological
status of antioxidant concentration among people at high risk for developing these conditions, such as Metabolic Syndrome,
is of interest. In present study out of 187 first degree non-diabetic relatives and 192 non-diabetic spouses, 33.1% and 19.7%
were found to have metabolic syndrome respectively. Subjects with metabolic syndrome (≥3 risk factors) had poor antioxidants
status as reflected by significantly low levels of vitamin A, C & E and significantly increased (p<0.01) oxidative stress
as compared to those without metabolic syndrome. At the same time serum insulin levels and insulin resistance were found to
be significantly high (p<0.001) in metabolic syndrome. A strong positive correlation (r=0.946; p<0.001) between oxidative
stress and insulin resistance was observed in metabolic syndrome. Low levels of antioxidants and increased oxidative stress
with insulin resistance in metabolic syndrome suggests that besides therapeutic life style changes (TLC) as suggested in ATP
III guidelines inclusion of antioxidant vitamins, fruits and vegetable could be beneficial to ward off the consequences of
metabolic syndrome. 相似文献

Repeated blood transfusion in beta thalassemia major patients may lead to peroxidative tissue injury by secondary iron overload.
In the present study, 72 children with beta thalassemia major were included. Serum levels of total lipid peroxides, Iron,
Total Iron Binding Capacity, Copper, Zinc, Vitamin E, plasma Total Antioxidant Capacity, activity of Erythrocyte Superoxide
Dismutase, were measured. The findings were compared with 72 age matched healthy controls irrespective of sex. A significant
increase in the levels of lipid peroxide and Iron (p<0.001), whereas, significant decrease in the levels of vitamin-E, Total
Antioxidant Capacity and Total Iron Binding Capacity (p<0.001) was observed. Serum Zinc was significantly increased (p<0.001)
with significant decrease in the levels of copper (p<0.001). Non Significant increase in the activity of Erythrocyte Superoxide
Dismutase (p>0.05) was found in the patients when compared with controls. This suggest that oxidative stress and reduced antioxidant
defense mechanism play an important role in pathogenesis of beta thalassemia major. 相似文献

Free radicals play an important role in the pathogenesis of tissue damage in many clinical disorders, including atherosclerosis.
Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. In this study we investigated oxidative stress, antioxidants
and inflammatory molecules in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study has been carried out on 106 patients with
acute myocardial infarction, (89 men and 17 females). The control group consisted of 50 healthy, age-matched subjects (40
men and 10 females). Levels of Glucose, lipid profile, glutathione reduced, glutathione peroxidase, Superoxide dismutase,
Glycosylated hemoglobin, fibrinogen, vitamin C, vitamin E, malondialdehyde, ceruloplasmin, adenosine deaminase, lysozyme and
sialic acid were measured. Malondialdehyde and ceruloplasmin levels were significantly high and antioxidants such as vitamin
C, vitamin E, glutathione reduced, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were significantly decreased in diabetic
and non-diabetic AMI patients as compared with control (p<0.001). Inflammatory markers showed significant rise in diabetic
patients as compared with controls. Our results clearly show increased inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with
acute myocardial infarction. Depression of antioxidant system in these patients confirms this conclusion. 相似文献
