Objective: The objective of the study is to assess protein oxidation status and its correlation with antioxidant potential in serum during preeclampsia (PE). Materials Methods: A casecontrol was performed on 63 pregnant subjects (mean age = 30 tential serpreeclamptic 32 age-matched normotensive (control) women. Serum samples were analyzed for total protein, globulin, albumin, carbonyls (PCO), a...

Oxidative stress is involved in the pathogenesis of lupus nephritis (LN). The current study investigated the significance of advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) as a biomarker of LN in patients with cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Ninety-two patients who initially presented with systemic lupus erythematosus were divided into the LN- and LN+ groups. Serum AOPP levels were determined, and ...

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPP) represent terminal products of proteins exposure to free radicals. The aim of this study was to estimate the serum AOPP levels in preeclamptic patients together with ultrasensitive C-reactive protein and anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) IgG and IgM. 21 women in the third trimester of pregnancy were included in the study--10 women with preeclampsia and ...

Advanced oxidation protein products (AOPPs) are the dityrosine-containing and crosslinking protein products formed during oxidative stress by reaction of plasma protein with chlorinated oxidants, and often carried by albumin in vivo. Accumulation of plasma and renal AOPPs is a common pathologic finding in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. Moreover, AOPP accumulation is an independent risk ...

PURPOSE To investigate the activity of antioxidative enzymes and the products of oxidative stress in patients with age-related cataracts and compare the findings with those in healthy control subjects. METHOD Sixty patients with age-related cataract and sixty healthy controls of matched age and gender were included in this study. Serum samples were obtained to detect the antioxidative enzymes...

The aim of this study was to ascertain the effect of atorvastatin on oxidative stress parameters in dyslipidemic patients with or without diabetes. Advanced oxidation of protein products(AOPP), was measured as a marker for protein oxidation, malondialdehyde was studied as a marker of lipid peroxidation and glutathione (G-SH) was estimated to study the antioxidant potential of these patients. Th...
