Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is a health problem with increasing severity, as exposure to risk factors such as cigarette smoke, pollution is inevitable. Oxidant antioxidant imbalance cause oxidative burden leading to lung tissue damage. The aim of present study was to evaluate oxidative stress marker (MDA) and non enzymatic antioxidant in COPD patients. MDA level were estimated ...

background & objectives: good fasting practice is not only refraining from foods and drinks in a period of time, but should encompass several important factors including unexcessive eating habit during ifthor. understanding the effect of fasting accompanied by calorie restriction (cr) in oxidative stress indicators, malondialdehyde (mda) and 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'deoxyguanosine (8-oxodg), th...

This study was conducted to evaluate the level of chromosomal damage in perinatal asphyxia and correlate it with severity of asphyxia. Fourty term neonates with asphyxia and twenty term babies without asphyxia were included in this case control study. Blood samples were collected within 24 hours of birth for karyotyping and oxidative stress by serum malondealdehyde (MDA) estimation. The degree ...

  Background: Frying is one of the popular cooking methods for the preparation of food especially meat products. However, this process has some adverse effects, such as lipid oxidation that results in deterioration and rancidity of food during preparation and storage. Malondialdehyde (MDA) as a secondary product of oxidation is commonly used as an index of rancidity in food products. However...

Supplementary Figure 1 | False mutation detection due to whole-genome amplification artifacts. From left to right: false negative SNV detection due to allelic distortion; false positive translocation detection due to artificial chimera; false positive loss-of-heterozygosity due to chromosomal segments dropping out of amplification; false positive SNV detection due to early amplification errors....

In the present study serum Malondialdehyde (MDA) and Vitamin C profiles of conversion disorder patients were compared with control and evaluated the correlation between MDA and vitamin C level was evaluated with their socioeconomic factors. Conversion disorder patients (n=45), age ranging from 17 to 41 years, were randomly recruited from the Department of Psychiatry, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Me...

Malaria is one of the most important vector borne disease caused by the different species of a Plasmodium. Plasmodium falciparum causes complicated malaria. One of the important complications is cerebral malaria. This study was designed to estimate lipid peroxidation in the form of a metabolite malondialdehyde (MDA) in relation to parasitemia in cases of cerebral malaria. MDA in the serum of pa...

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...

background: diazinon (dzn) is an organophosphate pesticide that widely used for agricultural pest control all over the world. dzn affects target organs including reproductive system by inhibiting the activity of acetylcholinesterase and inducing oxidative stress. vitamin e (α-tocopherol) is a strong antioxidant which inhibits free radicals, and probably can reduce lipid perxidation effectively ...

BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE The minimal deviation adeno-carcinoma (MDA) of the cervix is a rare disease. The misdiagnosis rate of this disease is relatively high and there is no standard treatment for it. This study was to evaluate clinicopathologic features, diagnosis, and treatment of MDA. METHODS Records of five patients with MDA treated in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yet-sen Universi...
