Alternations of Antioxidant Activity in Saliva in Smokers
نویسنده
چکیده
Cigarette smoke is injurious to both oral cavity and internal body environment. Saliva is the first body fluid to encounter the dangerous smoke. The aim of our present study was, therefore, to evaluate the influence of smoking on the antioxidant activity of saliva of healthy smokers. Antioxidant capacity of saliva was determined using different methods in the centrifuged saliva from 25 male smokers and 25 non-smokers in a similar age range. Chemical methods and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) revealed a significant decrease in total antioxidant capacity and values of non-enzymatic antioxidants in saliva of smokers. Based on the results obtained in the present study, we concluded that smoking could significantly affect the anitoxidant behavior of normal human saliva. Thus, smoking may induce several oral diseases as well as respiratory and cardiovascular disorders and could cause different cancers.

متن کاملDetermination of Total Antioxidant Capacity in Saliva of Smokers and Non-smokers with Chronic Periodontitis
Background: Periodontal diseases in smokers are 2.6 to 6 times higher than non-smokers and their response to treatment is much lower. Reducing levels of antioxidants and consequently increasing oxidative damage in the pathogenesis of periodontitis is effective. Regarding the importance of free radicals in the pathogenesis of periodontal diseases, the aim of this study was to investigate the eff...
متن کاملEvaluation of Antioxidant Capacity and Cotinine Levels of Saliva in Male Smokers and Non-smokers
Background: The cigarette compounds are associated with the increase in the incidence of oral cancer andprecancerous lesions. Salivary antioxidant system plays an important role in anti-carcinogenic capacity ofsaliva. Cotinine, a nicotine metabolite, has a longer half-life in comparison with nicotine and is a suitablemarker for exposure to cigarette smoke. This study aims to measure total antio...
متن کاملEffect of vitamin C on salivary total antioxidant capacity in healthy male smokers
Background and Aims: Saliva is the first body fluid that is exposed to the free radicals found in cigarette smoke. Antioxidant substances in saliva, such as vitamin C, play an important role in the defense mechanism against free radicals. Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the effect of vitamin C on the total antioxidant capacity of saliva in smokers. Materials and Methods: This r...
