OBJECTIVE The level of various specific biomarkers of oxidative stress in plasma from schizophrenic patients, as well as biomarkers (the level of isoprostanes) in urine in schizophrenic patients was described. The aim of our present study was to evaluate biomarkers of oxidative stress by oxidative/nitrative modifications of plasma proteins (by measuring the level of carbonyl groups and 3-nitrot...

Oxidative stress is a major mediator of adverse outcomes throughout the course of transplantation. Transplanted kidneys are prone to oxidative stress-mediated injury by pre-transplant and post-transplant conditions that cause reperfusion injury or imbalance between oxidants and antioxidants. Besides adversely affecting the allograft, oxidative stress and its constant companion, inflammation, ca...

The inflammatory etiology of atherosclerosis has prompted a search for biomarkers of inflammation that predict risk for coronary artery disease and its sequelae. Within the acute coronary syndromes (ACS), inflammatory biomarkers may provide independent information regarding pathophysiology, prognosis, and optimal therapeutic strategies. On the basis of the hypothesis that different pathophysiol...

background: fat-rich diet may alter oocyte development and maturation and embryonic development by inducing oxidative stress (os) in follicular environment. objective: to investigate the relationship between fat intake and oxidative stress with oocyte competence and embryo quality. materials and methods: in observational study follicular fluid was collected from 236 women undergoing assisted re...

BACKGROUND It has been reported that hyperglycemia can induce endothelial dysfunction via increased oxidative stress and that it plays a central role in the development of atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. Phyllanthus emblica (Emblica officinalis, amla) is known for its antioxidant and antihyperlipidemic activity. The present study compared the effects of an aqueous extract of P. embl...

Background: The well-known toxic effects of benzene toxicity are bone marrow depression, reduction in blood cell counts, and induction of leukemia and aplastic anemia. This study was designed to evaluate biomarkers of aging in red blood cells (RBCs). Methods: Mice were exposed to benzene (50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day) orally for 28 days. A group of benzene-exposed mice were injected intraperiton...

BACKGROUND Animal study results point to oxidative stress as a key mechanism triggering postoperative atrial fibrillation (PoAF), yet the extent to which specific biomarkers of oxidative stress might relate to PoAF risk in humans remains speculative. METHODS AND RESULTS We assessed the association of validated, fatty acid-derived oxidative stress biomarkers (F2-isoprostanes, isofurans, and F3...

Aluminium is numbered among trace elements with a moderate toxic effect on living organisms. We have attempted to assess the influence of long-term aluminium chloride intake on the biochemical parameters and oxidative stress biomarkers in experimental animals. Three months’ administration of aluminium chloride in drinking water at a dose of 80 mg/l significantly elevated blood serum urea and cr...

Obesity is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, but the mechanisms for increased cardiovascular risk in obesity are still unclear. Inflammation and increased oxidative stress are two potential mechanisms proposed to play a major role in the morbidity associated with obesity. Studies that investigate these mechanisms rely on biomarkers, but validated biomarkers for obesity-related ca...

While the pathological mechanism of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is unclear, oxidative stress has been proposed to be one its related theories, which can help uncover disease’s factors. This review aims provide a quantitative description and data visualisation AD research from literature obtained Scopus database. Based on keywords used, are in article title, 996 documents were retrieved for further...
