background: polycystic ovary syndrome (pcos) causes an increased risk of metabolic cardiovascular syndrome. also, cystatin c serum levels are associated with the risk of cardiovascular events in metabolic syndrome patients. objective: to investigate the relationship between cystatin c in pcos patients. materials and methods: 35 women with pcos were compared to 35 women with healthy matched age ...

abstract          background and objective: vitamins c and e are  the two main antioxidants involved in prevention of type 2 diabetes, by reducing oxidative stress. the aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of vitamins c and e supplementation independently, on serum levels of insulin, high sensitivity c-reactive protein (hs-crp) and resistin in people with type 2 diabetes.         metho...

glycation is a protein modification, which results in a change in a protein structure. glycation is believed to be the etiology of various age-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus and alz-heimer’s disease (ad). activation of microglia and resident macrophages in the brain by glycated proteins with subsequent oxidative stress and cytokine release may be an important factor in the progressi...

Seed storage proteins are synthesized as sources of carbon, nitrogen and sulfur for the next generation of plants. Reactive oxygen species serve as second messengers for signal transduction; however, molecular targets of oxidant signaling have not been defined. Here, many researchers showes that ligand–receptor mediated signaling promotes reactive oxygen species– dependent protein carbonylation...
