Abstract Background and Objectives Haemodilution leads to complications in clinical practice. It is exactly unknown whether this damage caused by the fluid or stretching of vascular bed. We aimed compare two different haemodilution techniques at same anaemic level. Methods Normovolemic hypervolemic was performed on twelve adult male Wistar rats. In normovolemic procedure, blood withdrawn instan...

We describe a method for the measurement of protein-bound malondialdehyde with the thiobarbituric acid reaction in human plasma using second-derivative spectrophotometry. Calibration was done by spectrum height measurement from the baseline at 532 nm. The data were compared with those obtained by using conventional absorbance and fluorimetric measurements. The results were linear from 0.2 to 80...

objective: the aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of good glycemic control on serum lipids levels and lipid peroxidation, and to find out the relationship between the level of malondialdehyde and hba1c in type 2 diabetes. materials and methods: fifty type 2 diabetic patients aged 40-60 years with the history of diabetes for more than 10 years were studied. glycemic control was stable ...

This study evaluated the effect of aging on the adaptation potential of antioxidants and the accumulation of oxidative damage in fast-twitch muscles in response to non-weight-bearing conditions. Adult and old rats were randomized into 4 groups: normal weight bearing, hind-limb unloading for 3, 7, and 14 days. Activities of manganese superoxide dismutase, copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, catala...

Elevated oxidative stress in Down syndrome due to elevated levels of superoxide dismutase 1 can be assessed by estimating the products of lipid peroxidation malondialdehyde and protein carbonylation .The present study included 31 clinically diagnosed and karyotypically confirmed Down syndrome children with equal number of age and sex matched controls. The levels of malondialdehyde (6.1 ± 2.5 μm...

BACKGROUND Reactive oxygen species have been shown to mediate inflammatory process and may be involved in lipid peroxidation. METHODS This study evaluates superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, malondialdehyde, C- reactive protein and fibrinogen in the serum of patients with sickle cell disease and their correlation with renal insufficiency. Superoxide dismutase, glutathione ...

Plasma lipid peroxides (malondialdehyde) and thiols were measured in 45 patients with congestive heart failure and 45 controls. Malondialdehyde concentrations were significantly higher in the patients with congestive heart failure (median 9.0 nmol/ml interquartile range (IQR) 7.9-10.2) than in the controls (median 7.7 nmol/ml (IQR 6.9-9.2)). Plasma thiols were significantly lower in congestive ...

Dear Editor The recent report on “Malondialdehyde Level in the Cord Blood” bring some interesting point to be discussed [1]. Gülbayzar et al. concluded that “malondialdehyde level in umbilical cord blood could serve as an indication of perinatal oxidative stress [1]” This summary might be correct, however, there are some points to be considered. First, there are many factors that can induce the...

Effect of salicylic acid combined with glutamin on rose (Rosa Baccara) cut flowers was studied. The study was conducted in a factorial arrangement, carried out in a complete randomized design. The factors were Salicylic acid (0,1, 2 and 4 mM) and glutamin (0, 1.5 and 3 mM).The effects of treatments on the total chlorophyll content, ACC-Oxidase activity, anthocyanin leakage, membrane stability a...
