Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is due to excessive alcohol intake for long duration. Distinguishing ALD from non-ALD (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, hepatitis of viral origin) is difficult as patient may deny alcohol abuse. Clinical examination, histology and serology may not differentiate these conditions. Accurate diagnosis is important as management of ALD differs from non-ALD patients. The aim of our study was (1) To evaluate the patients of ALD and non-ALD by biochemical parameters compared to controls, (2) To assess whether these parameters can differentiate ALD from non-ALD. Study was carried out on 50 patients of ALD in group I and 35 patients of NASH (non-alcoholic steatohepatitis) and acute viral hepatitis each in group II. Age matched healthy controls n = 50. Selection criteria—history of alcohol intake (amount and duration), clinical examination, sonography of abdomen, serum alanine transaminase (ALT) and bilirubin levels. Blood samples were analyzed for bilirubin, aspartate transaminase (AST), ALT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) by kinetic method. Statistical analysis was done by Student unpaired ‘t’ test. Patients of ALD have raised AST/ALT ratio (De Ritis ratio) (>2), ALP and GGT compared to controls (P < 0.01).There is significant difference in AST/ALT ratio, serum GGT and ALP in ALD group compared to that in NASH and acute viral hepatitis (P < 0.05). This study suggests that De Ritis ratio >2 in ALD patients may be due to alcohol induced hepatic mitochondrial injury and pyridoxine deficiency. High GGT and ALP values may indicate enzyme induction by alcohol and mild cholestasis. Thus ALD patients have severe hepatic damage. De Ritis ratio <1 and normal to mild elevation in GGT level in NASH and acute viral hepatitis suggest mild hepatic injury of non-alcoholic origin. Our study concludes that ALD patients can be differentiated from NASH and acute viral hepatitis with certainty by measuring serum AST/ALT ratio, GGT and ALP. These biochemical parameters may help clinicians to support the diagnosis of ALD and non-ALD. 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

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

Medically diagnosed alcoholics can be differentiated reliably from non-alcoholics using clinically laboratory tests. In the
present study, patients with liver diseases either due to alcohol or without alcohol compared with a group of normal healthy
persons. Heavy drinkers showed significantly lower body weight and percent body fat, and low BMI compared with other groups.
The percentage of hemoglobin and total number of RBC were found to be significantly decreased, whereas mean corpuscular volume
(MCV) significantly increased in alcoholic liver disease (ALD). Hyperbilirubinemia, hyperuricemia and hypoalbuminemia correlate
with alcohol intake. Albumin/globulin ratio significantly decreased in ALD. In acute liver injury AST/ALT ratio is ≤1.0, whereas
in alcoholic hepatitis it is always >1.0. Moderately elevated level of ALP and high GGT values are good discriminator of alcoholic
patients. Alcohol-induced liver injury is linked to oxidative stress as observed by decreased level of reduced glutathione
and ascorbic acid, and increased level of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances. 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

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

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

The correlation between antioxidant capacity and oxidative damage during aging has been reported in several tissues in different
species. Glutathione-S-transferases (GST) can metabolise endogenous and exogenous toxins and carcinogens by catalysing the
conjugation of diverse electrophiles with reduced glutathione (GSH). We observe a significant (P < 0.001) increase in plasma GST activity as a function of human age (r = 0.5675). A significant (P < 0.001) positive correlation (r = 0.8979) is observed between GST activity and total plasma antioxidant potential measured
as ferric reducing ability of the plasma (FRAP). GST activity and red cell intracellular GSH also show a significant positive
correlation (r = 0.7014). We hypothesize that the increased activity of plasma GST is a manifestation of increased generation
of ROS and a concomitant decrease in the level of plasma antioxidant capacity during aging. 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

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

The study includes 102 confirmed cases of carcinoma breast with and without metastasis and 25 healthy non-pregnant females.
They were evaluated for blood levels of Ferritin, GSH, LDH, ALP, GGT and Hb before and 21 days after mastectomy. A significant
increase (p<0.001) was observed in ferritin, LDH and GSH levels in cancer patients without metastasis in comparison to normal
control subjects. Patients with metastasis had further elevated (p<0.001) levels of Ferritin, ALP and GGT as compared to non-metastatic
patients. Mastectomy in both the cases i.e. with and without metastasis resulted in non-significant decrease in all the biochemical
parameters suggesting that longer follow up could confirm post surgery decrease in the biochemical parameters. The results
of the study suggest cost effective, usefulness of Ferritin, ALP, GGT and GSH/Hb ratio in differentiating breast cancer patients
with and without metastasis which can be assayed in smaller laboratories. 相似文献

The study was conducted to find out the extent of lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in ischemic stroke patients (ISPs)
with and without diabetes. Malondialdehyde (MDA) was studied as a marker of lipid peroxidation. Glutathione (GSH), uric acid
and ceruloplasmin were estimated to study the antioxidant potential of ISPs. Significantly higher levels of MDA were found
in both the groups of ISPs and the increase in MDA was more in ISPs without diabetes. GSH levels were decreased significantly
in both the groups of ISPs and maximum decline was found in ISPs with diabetes. Uric acid levels were significantly increased
in both the groups of ISPs. Ceruloplasmin levels were increased significantly in ISPs without diabetes, whereas its levels
were slightly decreased in ISPs with diabetes. A negative correlation was found between MDA and the antioxidants GSH, uric
acid and ceruloplasmin in ISPs with diabetes. This study suggests that there is an association between ischemic stroke and
increased oxidative stress and the antioxidant potential is impaired in both the groups of ISPs with and without diabetes. 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

Premature coronary artery disease (CAD) is common in India. We, therefore, studied oxidative stress, dyslipidemia, and high
sensitivity-C reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels in young CAD patients. Present study consisted of male CAD patients below 40
years and age and sex matched healthy controls (n=30 each). Fasting blood samples were analyzed for serum lipid profile, malondialdehyde,
antioxidant enzymes and hs-CRP levels. Dyslipidemia was observed in 90% of the young CAD patients, of which 72.2% showed increased
serum triglycerides and decreased HDL-cholesterol. LDL-cholesterol levels were high in 77.8%. Serum malondialdehyde and hs-CRP
levels were increased significantly (p<0.0001) as compared to controls. hs-CRP levels were in high risk range in all the young
patients. However, glutathione peroxidase activity was reduced significantly (p<0.05). Our data suggests that elevated hs-CRP
levels along with dyslipidemia and oxidative stress adds to the predictive value of premature CAD in young Indians. 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

Chronic myeloid leukemia is a myeloproliferative disorder with a unique rearrangement, the Philadelphia chromosome. Oxidative
stress, a pervasive condition of an increased number of reactive oxygen species, is now recognized to be prominent feature
of various diseases and their progression. Thus antioxidants, which control the oxidative stress state, represent a major
line of defense regulating overall true state of health. The relationship between antioxidants status and levels of well-known
markers of oxidative stress that are measured as lipid peroxides and oxidized proteins reflect better health indices and postures.
The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of oxidative stress in pathophysiology of Chronic myeloid leukemia by measuring
the circulating plasma lipid peroxide levels in terms of malonyldialdehyde, total lipid hydroperoxide and oxidized proteins
as protein carbonyl whereas antioxidant status were estimated in terms of reduced glutathione and total thiol in plasma of
Chronic myeloid leukemia patients. The present study included 47 Chronic myeloid leukemia patients and 20 age-and sex-matched
healthy subjects. Out of 47 Chronic myeloid leukemia patients, 31 were in chronic phase (CML-CP) and 16 in accelerated phase
(CML-AP). The median age of Chronic myeloid leukemia patients was 33 years and that of controls was 32 years. Oxidative stress
and antioxidant status in plasma were evaluated by spectrophotometric procedures. There was a significant increase (p<0.05)
in plasma malonyldialdehyde, total lipid hydroperoxide and protein carbonyl levels in Chronic myeloid leukemia patients as
compared to healthy subjects. Our results also showed that plasma malonyldialdehyde and protein carbonyl levels were markedly
elevated (p<0.05) in both chronic phase (CML-CP) and accelerated phase (CML-AP) as compared to healthy volunteers. Antioxidant
status was found to be significantly decreased (p<0.05) in Chronic myeloid leukemia patients and its phases as compared to
healthy participants. It could be concluded that oxidative stress may be associated with the pathophysiology of Chronic myeloid
leukemia. 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

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

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
