background: imbalances between the oxidant–antioxidant status have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several diseases, including cancer. the aim of this study was to evaluate the extent of lipid peroxidation and antioxidants in the tissue samples of oral squamous cell carcinoma (oscc) patients of different clinical stages in comparison with the healthy controls. materials and methods: a ca...

We analyzed the protective effect of garlic oil on hepatic and blood lipid peroxidation and the antioxidant status during buccal pouch carcinogenesis induced by 7,12dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) in male Syrian hamsters. Enhanced lipid peroxidation in the liver and blood of tumor-bearing animals was accompanied by a significant decrease in antioxidant levels. Topical application of garlic oil...

Lipid peroxidation can be described generally as a process under which oxidants such as free radicals attack lipids containing carbon-carbon double bond(s), especially polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). Over the last four decades, an extensive body of literature regarding lipid peroxidation has shown its important role in cell biology and human health. Since the early 1970s, the total publish...

Effect of inorganic phosphate on ferrous ionand ascorbate-induced lipid. peroxidations of isolated rat liver mitochondria was investigated. As a result it has been shown that phosphate accelerates the ferrous ion.induced lipid peroxidation; namely, phos. phate shortens the induction lag period of the lipid peroxidation reaction but the malondialdehyde after onset of its production is yielded at...

Effects of S-allylcysteine (SAC), an organosulfur compound of garlic, on circulatory lipid peroxidation and antioxidant levels were evaluated in N-nitrosodiethylamine (NEDA)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in Wistar rats. Significantly elevated thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in the circulation of rats bearing carcinoma indicated the higher levels of lipid peroxidation which was accompanie...

Lipid peroxidation, hemolysis and thiol contents were studied in intact goat erythrocytes exposed to phenylhydrazine. An increase in lipid peroxidation, hemolysis and thiol content was observed after phenylhydrazine treatment of erythrocyte. Extracellular Ca potentiates the phenylhydrazine-induced lipid peroxidation and hemolysis of erythrocytes significantly. Ca does not influence much the thi...

renal ischemia-reperfusion (ir) contributes to the development of acute renal failure (arf). oxygen free radicals are considered to be principal components involved in the pathophysiological tissue alterations observed during renal ir. the purpose of this study was to investigate the combination effect of melatonin (mel) and erythropoietin (epo), which are a potent antioxidant and anti-apoptoti...

conclusions cornus mas fruit extract effect may be due to including some antioxidant components, which caused membrane stabilizing and normalization of fluctuated biochemical profiles induced by ccl4 exposure. our results validated the traditional use of cornus mas in the treatment of liver disorders. results oral administration of cornus mas fruits extract to rats for 14 days provided a signif...

abstract effect of cr3+ concentrations (1, 2, 4, 6, and 8 mg l-1) on lipid peroxidation / mda production and antioxidative enzyme activity (apox, sod, and ppox) in root and leaf tissues of sweet basil seedlings (ocimum basilicum l.) during 6week treatment in hydroponic culture was studied. increasing cr3+ in the culture medium (≥4 mg l-1) caused significant enhancement of apox, sod, and ppox ac...
