Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) as lipid peroxidation marker and total antioxidant capacity(TAC) in saliva of smoker and non-smoker men. Materials & Methods: This case-control study was performed on 104 men including smoker (52) and non-smoker (52) men, referred to the Oral Medicine Department in Babol Faculty o...

Introduction: Myocardial infarction (MI) is associated with increased oxidative stress and reduced antioxidants. Some studies have shown that exercise training increases the serum level antioxidants. Therefore, this study investigated the effect of rehabilitation training on antioxidant status in patients with myocardial infarction. Materials and methods: In this study, 20 patients with my...

INTRODUCTION We evaluated and compared the serum oxidative stress and antioxidant enzymes in patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and the control group. MATERIAL AND METHODS The prospective study consisted of 97 patients with RCC (Group 1) and 80 age and sex matched healthy volunteers (Group 2). Group 1 and 2 were compared concerning serum mean total oxidant status (TOS), total antioxidan...

the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of protein whey isolate supplementation on antioxidant status during a resistance training program in overweight young men. 30 individuals (body mass index between 25-30 kg.m2) participated in this study and were randomly divided into three groups (each 10 subjects): experimental group 1 (supplement + six weeks of resistance training) (w), exp...

BACKGROUND/AIM The novel static (sORP) and capacity (cORP) oxidation-reduction potential markers were examined for assessing oxidative stress in plasma of patients with sepsis. Moreover, the possible effect of obesity-induced oxidative stress on patients with sepsis was investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS sORP and cORP markers, as well as the conventional oxidative stress biomarkers total ant...

Oxidative stress, a condition defined as unbalancing between production of free radicals and antioxidant defenses, is an important index of health status to monitor wellness and sport performance. Today, many aspects of hormone role in regulating oxidant – antioxidant balance still remain obscure. Physical and psychological stressor, which activate pituitary-adrenal axis, cause oxidative damage...

the number of patients with end-stage renal disease is growing rapidly in asia. patients with end stage renal disease failure (esrd) undergoing long term hemodialysis (hd) are at risk for high oxidative stress. there is paucity of information with regard to oxidative stress during hd. therefore, the aim of the present study was to evaluate catalase enzyme activity in erythrocytes and the total ...

background : animal studies have shown antioxidant effects of royal jelly (rj) and its effect on insulin resistance as the most common complication of type 2 diabetes. this study was conducted to determine the effect of rj intake on serum total antioxidant capacity, malondialdehyde and insulin resistance in t2dm. methods : in this randomized controlled trial, forty-six type 2 diabetic patients,...
