the etiopathogenesis of dementia in alzheimer's disease (ad) is still unclear. however, long-term oxidative stress is believed to be one of the major contributing factors in progression of neuronal degeneration and decline of cognitive function in ad. in order to assess the presence of oxidative stress in ad, we examined the enzymatic activities of the erythrocyte cu-zn superoxide dismutase (cu...

In this review, we disclose a selection of serum/plasma biomarkers of (anti)oxidant status related to nutrition, which can be used for measurements in large-scale epidemiological studies. From personal experience, we have come to the following proposal of a set of biomarkers for nutritional intake, (anti)oxidant status, and redox status. We have selected the individual antioxidant vitamins E an...

The study investigated body condition score (BCS), hematological parameters, metabolic profile indicators, total oxidant-antioxidant status, and milk yield (MY) of cows in non-funded (NF) funded (F+) dairy farms by the European Union funds (under Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance Rural Development-IPARD) to support rural development. Sixty multiparous Holstein (110 209 days lactation) fro...

Background: Breast milk is a natural food that contains all the fluids, energy, and nutrients necessary for optimum growth development of newborns. Smoking public health problem has harmful effects on mother baby. This study aimed to examine association exposure smoking with total oxidant status (TOS) antioxidant (TAS) in breast milk.

OBJECTIVE Human milk (HM) has antioxidant constituents which protect newborns against oxidative damage. We aimed to evaluate whether maternal consumption of herbal tea containing fenugreek had any effects on global oxidant and antioxidant capacity of HM. METHODS Volunteer mothers 18-35 years of age without any antenatal or perinatal risk factors were randomly assigned to receive galactagogue ...

BACKGROUND Recurrent aphthous stomatitis (RAS) is a chronic relapsing inflammatory disorder of the oral mucosa with unknown etiology. Oxidative stress (OS) is suggested to play a main role in the etiopathogenesis in RAS. OBJECTIVE In this study, we hypothesize that a systemic OS is present in patients with RAS. METHODS Forty-four patients with active RAS lesions and 38 healthy controls were...

OBJECTIVE Ischemia causes reversible or irreversible cell or tissue damage and reperfusion can exaggerate cellular damage. Microvascular dysfunction is induced and causes enhanced fluid filtration in capillaries. At the acute phase of reperfusion more oxygen radicals are activated. Nesfatin-1 protects brain against oxidative damage and heart against ischemia/reperfusion damage. In our study, we...

BACKGROUND The objectives of this study were to assess the total antioxidant levels, dental development, and oral health status in childhood obesity. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 120 children aged 6-12 years consisting of both genders from different school along Coastal Karnataka, India were part of the study and were categorized into obese/overweight, and normal children based on body ma...
