Total antioxidant capacity in Mediterranean β-thalassemic patients

Total and Corrected Antioxidant Capacity in patients undergoing hemodialysis

Serum total antioxidant capacity in patients with multiple sclerosis.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS). It is characterized by loss of myelin, the fatty tissue that surrounds and protects nerve fibres allowing them to conduct electrical impulses. Recent data indicate that oxidative stress (OS) plays a major role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to estimate level ...

Total and corrected antioxidant capacity in hemodialyzed patients

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress may play a critical role in the vascular disease of end stage renal failure and hemodialysis patients. Studies, analyzing either discrete analytes and antioxidant substances, or the integrated total antioxidant activity of human plasma during hemodialysis, give contradictory results. METHODS Recently, we have introduced a new automated method for the determination ...

Total Antioxidant Status in Patients with Major β-Thalassemia

OBJECTIVE Beta-thalassemia major is an autosomal recessive disease causing severe and hemolytic anemia, which begins about 2-6 months after birth. Iron overload, which arises from recurrent transfusion and ineffective erythropoiesis, can enhance oxidative stress in thalassemic patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the serum total antioxidant capacity of patients with ß-Thalassemia maj...

Relationship between Dietary Total Antioxidant Capacity and Oxidative Stress Markers in Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis

Background and purpose: Considering the pathologic importance of oxidative stress in osteoarthritis (OA), this study aimed to investigate the association between dietary total antioxidant capacity (DTAC) and oxidative stress markers in patients with knee OA. Materials and methods: In a cross-sectional study, dietary intakes of 152 patients with knee OA attending health centers in Zabol, Iran (...
