General: This study was designed to examine the effects of a 21-day Daniel Fast on markers of oxidative stress and endothelial function following ingestion of a high-fat milkshake. The study effectively controlled for compliance, recent exercise, and other extraneous variables that could have erroneously affected the outcome measures. The primary finding stated was that such a diet can improve ...

OBJECTIVE This present study has aimed to assess the state of acute phase markers and oxidative stress in patients with kidney stones. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study was carried out on 100 patients with kidney stones and 25 healthy controls. Albumin, ß2 microglobulin, Gamma-glutamyl transpepsidase, Lactate dehydrogenase, Tumor necrosis factor alpha, Interleukin 1 and Interleukin-6 w...

introduction: the use of antioxidants before high-intensity training, which leads to the release of free radicals and muscle injuries, can result in reduced damage during exercise. accordingly, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effect of selenium supplement intake on oxidative stress, following exhaustive aerobic exercise among young physically-active females. methods: in this quasi-exper...

The role of increased oxidative stress in the development of oxidative protein damage in aging have been reported. There is an important role of oxidative stress on development of dementia. Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are novel markers of oxidative stress. The aim of this study was to compare AOPP levels in healthy aged person and aged person with dementia. AOPP levels were in t...

The effect of vitamin E-coated membrane dialysers on inflammation and oxidative stress in maintenance haemodialysis patients Sir, The interesting paper by Kirmizis et al. [1] showed a significant beneficial effect of a 6-month treatment with a cellulose vitamin E-coated membrane (VEM) dialyser on markers of inflammation and oxidative stress in haemodial-ysis (HD) patients. Studies on the potent...

SIGNIFICANCE Oxidative stress is considered to be an important component of various diseases. A vast number of methods have been developed and used in virtually all diseases to measure the extent and nature of oxidative stress, ranging from oxidation of DNA to proteins, lipids, and free amino acids. RECENT ADVANCES An increased understanding of the biology behind diseases and redox biology ha...

Background and Objective: Occurrence of oxidative stress in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus affects spermatogenesis and the testicular functions. As the promising antioxidant activities of fullerene C60 nanomaterial have been demonstrated by previous reports, the current study aimed to determine the fullerene C60 effects on the markers of oxidative stress damage in testes of streptozotocin-induc...

Background: GSH is the main intracellular antioxidant and its level is important for protecting cell from oxidative stress. BSO inhibits GSH synthesis and cause oxidative stress. The study is designed to investigate the effect of BSO induced oxidative stress on testicular histology, semen parameters and sperm fertility. Materials and Methods: The adult male mice were divided into two groups of ...
