BACKGROUND/AIM Renal oxidative stress occurs in ureteral obstructions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of the antioxidant and antiischemic agent trimetazidine (TMZ) on oxidative stress following ureteral obstruction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ten groups were established. Sham groups were checked as controls after 1 and 3 weeks. The other 8 groups had partial or complete ur...

OBJECTIVE Oxidative stress is characterized by an increased concentration of oxygen free radicals which can cause a critical, or even an irreversible, cell injury. The study was designed to determine and compare the levels of oxidative stress and iron indices in Coronary Heart Disease and healthy individuals. MATERIAL AND METHODS Blood malondialdehyde, iron, total iron-binding capacity, trans...

BACKGROUND The association between lipid peroxidation biomarkers and adipocytokines is hypothesized in preeclampsia but little is known about it. OBJECTIVE he present study was undertaken to determine the association of lipid peroxidation biomarkers measured by the levels of 8-isoprostane and malondialdehyde with adipocytokines leptin and adiponectin in maternal serum of preeclamptic women. ...
