Background: Breast milk is a natural food that contains all the fluids, energy, and nutrients necessary for optimum growth development of newborns. Smoking public health problem has harmful effects on mother baby. This study aimed to examine association exposure smoking with total oxidant status (TOS) antioxidant (TAS) in breast milk.

Antioxidants provide protection against free radicals formed as a result of increased metabolism in living organisms and the damage these cause to cell. For this reason, determining antioxidant levels can help eco-physiologists field understanding physiological state animal at that moment conservation biology. In study, TAC, TOC OSI values 12 Long-legged Buzzards (Buteo rufinus), 7 Common buteo...

Unbalanced oxidant and antioxidant status played an important role in myocardial infarction. The present study was a clinical trial combined preclinically with targeted agent against cardiovascular injuries and ischemia in vivo model. We tried to confirm the association of unbalanced oxidant and antioxidant status with coronary chronic total occlusion (CTO) in 399 very old patients (80~89 years...

objective(s):this study investigated the effects of melatonin, famotidine, mirtazapine, and thiamine pyrophosphate on ischemia/reperfusion (i/r) injury in diabetic rats and evaluated oxidant and antioxidant marker measurement results. it also examined the effects of the drugs aimed at preventing infertility that may result from i/r injury. materials and methods: diabetic rats were divided into ...

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as a result of normal cellular metabolism, mainly through the mitochondria and peroxisomes, but their release is enhanced by the activation of oxidant enzymes such as NADPH oxidases or downregulation of endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as manganese-superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) and catalase. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β), found to be overexpr...

Inflammatory abnormalities may be involved in the inadequate basal oxidant/antioxidant balance and local exercise-induced oxidative stress in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. The time course of oxidative stress and inflammation was investigated in 10 COPD patients and seven healthy subjects before and after local dynamic quadriceps endurance exercise at 40% of maximal stre...

The effects of Ocimum basilicum (O. basilicum) and its constituent, rosmarinic acid, on total and differential blood WBC, serum levels of NO2, NO3, MDA, thiol, SOD and CAT in sensitized rats were examined. The study was performed in control animals (group C) and eight groups of sensitized rats to ovalbumin which were given drinking water alone (group S), drinking water containing three concentr...
