The present study evaluated the cardiometabolic and redox balance profiles in patients with Metabolic Syndrome compared to apparently healthy individuals, and the participation of the myeloperoxidase/hydrogen peroxide axis in systemic lipid peroxidation. Twenty-four patients with Metabolic Syndrome and eighteen controls underwent a full clinical assessment. Venous blood samples were collected f...

Ceruloplasmin (CP) was found to inhibit xanthine oxidase and ferritin-dependent peroxidation of phospholipid liposomes, as evidenced by decreased malondialdehyde formation. Ceruloplasmin was also shown to inhibit superoxide-mediated mobilization of iron from ferritin, in a concentration-dependent manner, as measured spectrophotometrically using the iron(II) chelator bathophenanthroline sulfonat...

Lipid peroxidation is the oxidative deterioration of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), which is a free radical related process. Studies showed that reactive oxygen species (ROS) are involved in a diversity of biological phenomena including atherosclerosis, neurodegenerative diseases, carcinogenesis etc. ROS and other pro-oxidant agents have the capacity to exhibit oxidative decomposition of ...

Background Obesity is characterized by a deposition of abnormal or excessive fat in adipose tissue, and is linked with a risk of damage to several metabolic and pathological processes associated with oxidative stress. To date, salivary oxidative biomarkers have been minimally explored in obese individuals. Thus, the aim of this study was to assess the concentrations of salivary oxidative biomar...

Oxidative stress, specifically lipid peroxidation, is believed to contribute to the pathophysiology of asthma. This review highlights the pathways through which reactive oxygen species (ROS) may lead to lipid peroxidation. The potential of both the innate and acquired immune systems to activate inflammatory cells and release ROS that may overwhelm the host antioxidant defences and cause lipid p...

Tumor cells generally display low lipid peroxidation. A low content of polyunsaturated fatty acids in membrane phospholipids is a possible cause of their decreased susceptibility to lipid peroxidation. To investigate the importance of substrate availability in eliciting lipid peroxidation and to study cell viability in conditions of stimulated lipid peroxidation, AH-130 hepatoma cells were enri...

Objectives: Plasmodium vivax &Plasmodium falciparum are the important species causing malaria in Indian subcontinent. P. vivax usually causes uncomplicated malaria. Whatever be the cause of malaria weather P. falciparum or P.vivax, there is variable degree of oxidative stress. This oxidative stress leads to peroxidation of membrane lipids. Lipid peroxidation is measured in terms of metabolite m...
