results the results revealed that metal urine concentration in welders was higher than controls but only the difference in chromium concentration was significant (p < 0.002). in the range of metals exposure, induction of oxidative stress for exposed group was observed by increase in urine mda (11.17 ± 4.23 and 4.83 ± 1.82 mm in welders and controls, respectively; p < 0.01). information of the m...

Background Severe oxidative stress has been reported in tuberculosis [TB] patients. There are no previous reports regarding oxidative stress index and supplementation of antioxidants in TB. The objective of this study was to assess the antioxidant status, lipid peroxidation and oxidative stress index in TB patients. Also to assess the antioxidant supplementation with antituberculosis therapy in...

abstract objective: globally, 3-5.2 percent of people suffer from diabetes which is one of the most serious metabolic disorders resulting in an increase in inflammatory biomarkers e.g. interleukin-6, tumor necrosis factor-alpha, and c-reactive protein. the aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between inflammation, oxidative stress and fasting blood glucose, lipid profile and an...

BACKGROUND Oxidative stress can be defined as an increase in oxidants and/or a decrease in antioxidant capacity. There is limited information about the oxidative status in subjects with hepatitis B virus infection. We aimed to evaluate the oxidative status in patients with various clinical forms of chronic hepatitis B infection. METHODS Seventy-six patients with hepatitis B virus infection, i...

o bjective : increased levels of oxidative stress markers in periodontitis have been reported by recent studies. malondialdehyde (mda) and superoxide dismutase (sod) are both in- creased during oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to detect and measure the level of oxidative stress markers in peri-implant crevicular fluid (picf). their correlation with peri-implant clinical parameters wa...
