An adequate antioxidant reserve which is usually present in a vegetarian diet is associated with higher life expectancy. On
the other hand habitual consumption of fish is associated with lower risk of cardiovascular diseases which is attributed to
the polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) present in it. However the PUFA are readily susceptible to oxidation leading to the
formation of free radicals which is known to be involved in the causation of several diseases.
The oxidant-antioxidant status of 23 vegetarians and 22 fish eaters was studied by determining the plasma lipid peroxides
measured as malondialdehyde (MDA) and the antioxidants, viz. glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid, ceruloplasmin and uric acid.
Results show that the ascorbic acid values were significantly higher in vegetarians. In addition, MDA correlated negatively
with ascorbic acid only in vegetarians. However, correlation of MDA with glutathione showed a significant negative correlation
only in fish eaters. There was no statistically significant difference in the MDA, GSH, ceruloplasmin and uric acid levels.
The mechanism behind these findings are not clear and needs to be explored. 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 study was designed to find out the correlation between lipid peroxidation, lipoprotein levels to severity and complication
of diabetes mellitus. Degree of lipid peroxidation was measured in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) along with lipid profile
and blood glucose in diabetes mellitus. It is categorised into insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), non insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and diabetes mellitus(DM) with complication.
Total 112 known diabetic patients and 52 non-diabetic controls were studied. These patients were grouped as per the concentration
of fasting blood glucose level i.e. controlled, poorly controlled, and uncontrolled group. There are significant increase
in the lipid peroxide (MDA) and lipid profile except HDL cholesterol which is decreased, has been found in all groups as compared
to controls In NIDDM group lipid peroxidation was markedly increased than IDDM group and it was higher in DM with complications.
Other finding observed was that the level of lipid peroxide increased as per the increase in concentration of blood glucose.
The increase lipid peroxidation in the hyperglycemic condition may be explained, as the superoxide dismutase enzyme which
is antioxidant becomes inactive due the formation of superoxide radical within the cell. Maximum lipid peroxidation leads
to the damage of the tissue and organs which results into complication in diabetic patients. High levels of total cholesterol
appear due to increased cholesterol synthesis. The triglyceride levels changes according to the glycemic, control. The increase
may be due to overproduction of VLDL-TG.
It is concluded that good metabolic control of hyperglycemia will prevent in alteration in peroxidation and the lipid metabolism,
which may help in good prognosis and preventing manifestation of vascular and secondary complication in diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

A glutathione redox cycle is a major antioxidant defense system for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species within erythrocytes.
Reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are generated as a host defense
mechanism for killing of engulfed Leishmania donovani, a causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis, are capable of damaging
lipids and other biomolecules when produced in excess. Erythrocytes are most vulnerable to Reactive oxygen species. In present
study we aimed to evaluate erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH) levels as an antioxidant and erythrocyte malondialdehyde
(MDA) as a marker of lipid peroxidation. The study included twenty-five Visceral leishmaniasis patients and they were followed
up after their complete chemotherapy with antileishmanial drugs (sodium stibogluconate) for 30 days. Forty six age and sex
matched healthy individuals were taken as controls. GSH levels in erythrocytes of visceral leishmaniasis patients were increased
in spite of significant increased erythrocyte MDA as compared to controls. Whereas erythrocyte GSH and MDA levels of follow
up patients were decreased as compared to patients before treatment groups. We concluded that visceral leishmaniasis patients
are in oxidative stress which most likely induces the endogenous antioxidant such as GSH or its poor utilization by cells. 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

Coronary Artery Disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Traditional risk factors account for only
half of the morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress plays
the major role in the atherosclerotic process. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the level of lipid peroxidation
(by measuring malondialdehyde) and antioxidant enzymes (ceruloplasmin, glutathione, superoxide dismutase) in coronary artery
disease. Serum malondialdehyde levels and serum ceruloplasmin levels were significantly raised in all the subgroups of study
group as compared to control group (p<0.001). Whole blood glutathione levels and hemolysate superoxide dismutase activity
was significantly decreased in all the subgroups of study group as compared to control group (p<0.001). Above results suggests
that the patients of coronary artery disease show increased oxidative stress and decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes.
So it is recommended that the management protocol for coronary artery disease patients should include antioxidant supplementation
along with simultaneous lowering of lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

Elevated free radical generation in inflamed joints and impaired antioxidant system has been implicated in rheumatoid arthritis
(RA). Green tea extracts (GTE) have been shown to reduce inflammation in inflammatory arthritis murine model. This study investigates
possible mechanisms by which vitamin C and GTE protect joints in RA rat model. This study included forty adult male rats that
were divided into four groups (10 rats each); control group, collagen II induced RA group (CII), CII treated with vitamin
C (CII + Vit C) and CII treated with GTE (CII + GTE) in physiology laboratory, Assiut University, Egypt. After 45 days of
treatment, plasma levels of lipid peroxides (LPO), nitric oxide (NO), ceruloplasmin (CP), superoxide dismutase (SOD), uric
acid (UA) and glutathione (GSH) were detected using colorimetric methods, PGE2 using ELISA and copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn) using spectrometer. In CII group, levels of LPO, NO, PGE2, UA, CP, Cu were higher while SOD, GSH, Zn were lower than controls. In groups treated with vitamin C and GTE, levels of
SOD, GSH were increased while levels of LPO, NO, PGE2, Cu, CP were decreased compared with CII group. Levels of UA were decreased and Zn increased in GTE treated group compared
with CII group. GTE treated group showed higher Zn and low Cu levels compared with vitamin C treated group. This study suggests
proper GTE and vitamin C intake may effectively normalize the impaired oxidant/antioxidant system and delaying complication
of RA. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) formed in various metabolic reactions cause unlimited damage by attacking and oxidizing the macromolecules. An arsenal of antioxidant substances neutralizes these ROS at various sites of their metabolic cascade, and if disequilibrium exists between the pro and antioxidant system, oxidative stress persists. The present study was undertaken in schizophrenia, to highlight the response and role of some endogenous antioxidants viz. reduced glutathione (GSH), bilirubin, total proteins, albumin and uric acid in scavenging the ROS. The effect of severity of disease, age factor, and substance abuse was also studied. In all, 50 schizophrenics and 50 age and sex-matched controls were enrolled in the present study. Fasting blood samples were drawn for estimating malondialdehyde (MDA), GSH, bilirubin, total proteins, albumin and uric acid in both the groups. The results were statistically analyzed by Z-test and correlated using correlation coefficient (r). The study shows reduction in MDA levels and decline in the level of endogenous antioxidants, but within the normal range. Chronic schizophrenics were at a higher risk of oxidative stress and age and substance abuse seems to worsen the situation. 相似文献

A total of 41 healthy male pesticide sprayers exposed to different clases of pesticides for 3-5 years were compared with 21
controls matched for age and economic status with respect to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant status,
cholesterol, lipoprotein status and haematological profile. Plasma lipid peroxidation was estimated in the form of thiobarbituric
acid reactive substances (TBARS) produced. Significant increase in TBARS was observed in sprayers population when compared
with control subjects and the level of TBARS increased with increase in the duration of exposure. The levels of antioxidants
such as glutathione (GSH) were significantly depleted, whereas those of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were remarkably increased
than control population. Significant reduction in total cholesetrol, alteration in lipoprotein fractions and nonsignificant
changes in hematological parameters were observed. These results suggested that exposure to pesticidal residual drift augments
the free radical generation, and lipid peroxidation. Decline in non-enzymatic antioxidant and elevation of enzymatic antioxidant
were observed. Supplementation of α-tocopherol for 45 days resulted in the partial restoration of these biochemical changes
produced by pesticides. 相似文献

Susceptibility of Schizophrenic patients to lipid peroxidation relative to healthy control subjects was investigated by measuring
the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels in plasma. The main finding was that Schizophrenic patients were more susceptible than control
subjects to oxidative damage as evident from increased MDA levels in plasma. Antioxidant levels are also depleted in Schizophrenic
patients when compared to normal subjects as evident from decreased levels of vitamins E and C in the plasma. Impaired antioxidant
defense and increased lipid peroxidation suggests that treatment with antioxidants (Vitamin E, Vitamin C, beta carotene) at
the initial stages of illness may prevent further oxidative injury and deterioration of associated neurological deficits in
Schizophrenia. 相似文献

Phototherapy has been related to increased oxidative stress and lipid peroxidation. In the present study, thirty full term
jaundiced neonates with appropriate weight were analyzed before and after completion of phototherapy for malondialdehyde (MDA),
reduced glutathione (GSH), total thiols, vitamin C and superoxide dismutase (SOD) levels in hemolysate and albumin levels
in plasma. These parameters were analyzed in cord blood samples of 20 healthy neonates as control. It was observed that levels
of MDA were elevated significantly (p<0.001) in patients as compared to controls and that the levels increased significantly
after phototherapy (p<0.001). Levels of SOD were also found to be increased significantly as compared to controls and the
levels rose after phototherapy (p<0.001). On the other hand, the levels of non-enzymatic antioxidants such as GSH, total thiols
and vitamin C were significantly low (p<0.001) as compared to controls and the levels decreased significantly after phototherapy
(p<0.001). The plasma albumin levels also were found to be decreased significantly after phototherapy (p<0.01). Therefore,
phototherapy increases oxidative stress and should be used with care. 相似文献

Reactive oxygen species are thought to be involved in the pathogenesis of Malaria. To assess the extent of oxidative stress,
a study was conducted in patients withPlasmodium falciparum malaria andPlasmodium Vivax malaria. Plasma Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) were measured to assess the degree of lipid peroxidation.
Antioxidant status was measured by estimating the levels of Vitamins E and C. Results were compared with age and sex matched
control subjects. This study suggests that plasma TBARS levels were significantly increased in malaria patients. The patients
withP. falciparum infection showed significantly increased levels of lipid peroxides when compared toP. vivax malaria. The antioxidant Vitamins E and C were decreased significantly in malaria patients in both the groups. Maximum decline
in Vitamin C was observed inP. vivax malaria. Therefore it is been hypothesized that antioxidant Vitamins E and C could provide protection against the oxidative
stress induced by malaria. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. Therefore, in the present study, erythrocyte
lipid peroxidation, percentage hemolysis, antioxidant enzymes viz., glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide
dismutase and plasma antioxidants viz., ceruloplasmin, vitamins A,E and C have been determined in 19 patients with tubercular
meningitis (TBM) and 50 normals. Six patients who were treated with antibiotics were considered for the follow up. The statistical
analysis was carried out by Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Lipid peroxidation (P<0.02), percentage hemolysis
(P<0.001) and plasma ceruloplasmin (P<0.0001) of TBM patients were significantly higher, whereas erythrocyte glutathione reductase
(P<0.05) and plasma antioxidant vitamins A, E and C (P<0.01, P<0.05 respectively) were significantly lower than those of the
controls. In the follow up patients the glutathione reductase and catalase levels were significantly high (P<0.05) compared
to their pre-treated condition. Vitamin C and E levels have attained normal range. This study indicated that the blood antioxidant
status of TBM patients which was low compared to controls improved after treatment, suggesting the role of free radicals in
TBM. 相似文献

In traditional medicine, Eucalyptus globulus (eucalyptus) was used for the treatment of diabetes mellitus. Hyperglycemia in
diabetes has been associated with increased formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative damage to tissue compounds.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of eucalyptus in the diet (20 g/Kg) and drinking water (2.5 g/L) on lipid
peroxidation, protein oxidation and antioxidant power in plasma and liver homogenate, as well as glycated-Hb (HbA1C) of blood in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats for a period of 4 weeks. Diabetes induced in rats by a single intraperitoneal
injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 65 mg/Kg). At the end of the treatment period, the level of plasma glucose, plasma and liver
malondialdehyde (MDA, the main product of lipid peroxidation), protein carbonyl (PC, one of the protein oxidation products)
and HbA1C increased and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) decreased in diabetic rats compared to normal rats. Eucalyptus administration
for 4 weeks caused a significant decrease in the plasma glucose levels, plasma and liver MDA, PC and HbA1C, also a concomitant increase in the levels of FRAP in diabetic treated rats. In conclusion, the present study showed that
eucalyptus posses antioxidant activities. Eucalyptus probably restores antioxidant power, due to the improved hyperglycemia
in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. 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

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

BackgroundDiabetes is a metabolic disorder caused by defects in insulin production and activity. During disease progression, changes in lipid peroxidation cause structural modifications via production of free radicals. Fangchinoline is a well-known alkaloid present in Stephaniae tetrandrine S. Moore, which has demonstrated antioxidant, anticancer, and anti-inflammatory activities.ResultsThe present study analyzed the anti-diabetic and antioxidant effects of fangchinoline in male rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes. Rats were divided into the following groups: normal control, diabetic, diabetic + fangchinoline 100 mg/kg, diabetic + fangchinoline 200 mg/kg and diabetic + glibenclamide 600 µg/kg. The treatment was administered orally for 45 consecutive days. Lipid peroxidation was substantially increased by >50% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. However, fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced lipid peroxidation to near normal levels. Reactive oxygen species levels were substantially increased by >500% in the serum, as well as the liver, kidney, and heart tissues of diabetic rats. Fangchinoline supplementation reduced reactive oxygen species to near normal levels. Fangchinoline supplementation significantly improved superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, and reduced glutathione levels in diabetic rats. Total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose were increased in diabetic rats, whereas fangchinoline supplementation significantly reduced these total hexoses, sialic acid, hexosamines, and fucose to near normal levelsConclusionsSupplementation with fangchinoline led to significant attenuation of the levels of lipid peroxidation, ROS, and glycoprotein components such as total hexoses, hexosamines, sialic acid, and fucose, while improving antioxidant marker levels.How to cite: Xia J, Huang W, Zhou F.

Liver transplantation is an accepted therapy for chronic liver disease patients. These patients generally have low levels
of fat soluble vitamins, which have important antioxidant roles. Therefore, this study was undertaken to investigate whether
such patients had evidence of antioxidant depletion and increased lipid peroxidation before transplant and whether the subsequent
ischemia and reperfusion encountered during liver transplantation have any effect on antioxidant levels and lipid peroxidation.
We assessed plasma total antioxidant capacity and serum lipid peroxide in 12 patients undergoing liver transplantation and
equal numbers of healthy subjects. We found that before reperfusion, antioxidant levels were significantly decreased along
with significantly elevated lipid peroxidation levels as compared with healthy controls (P<0.001). On reperfusion of the liver
graft, further declined values of total antioxidant accompanied with highly elevated lipid peroxidation were seen than those
of pre-reperfusion samples (P<0.001). This data shows that patients undergoing liver transplant have lowered antioxidant defenses
and evidence of free radical damage, which compound the additional insult of reperfusion injury. Therefore antioxidant therapy
in these patients before transplantation may ameliorate the effects of reperfusion. 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

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
