Antioxidant status in rheumatoid arthritis and role of antioxidant therapy
Clinica Chimica Acta, 2003Oxygen free radicals have been implicated as mediators of tissue damage in patients of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). This study was designed to elucidate plasma oxidant/antioxidant status in rheumatoid arthritis, with the aim of evaluating the importance of antioxidant therapy in the management of this disease.The study included 40 patients of rheumatoid ...

Food and Chemical Toxicology, 1999
The diet is one of the leading factors under our control affecting the antioxidant status. The effect of the diet must be considered in its totality and should include the digestive system. This chapter discusses the major dietary factors affecting antioxidant status.

Determinants of antioxidant status in humans
Lipids, 1996AbstractAntioxidant status in humans reflects the dynamic balance between the antioxidant system and prooxidants and has been suggested as a useful tool in estimating the risk of oxidative damage. This paper reviews determinants of antioxidant status such as diet including antioxidant nutrient and nonnutrient intake, absorption and bioavailabilty ...

Antioxidant status in vegetarians versus omnivores
Nutrition, 2000Every day, vegetarians consume many carbohydrate-rich plant foods such as fruits and vegetables, cereals, pulses, and nuts. As a consequence, their diet contains more antioxidant vitamins (vitamin C, vitamin E, and beta-carotene) and copper than that of omnivores. Intake of zinc is generally comparable to that by omnivores. However, the bioavailability

Antioxidant Status and Cancer Mortality in China
International Journal of Epidemiology, 1992Sex-specific mortality rates for selected cancer sites (including oesophagus, stomach, liver, lung, colorectum, breast and cervix) and a variety of biochemical indicators of antioxidant status, enzyme activity and oxidative stress (including plasma levels of beta-carotene, alpha-tocopherol, ascorbic acid, selenium, glutathione peroxidase, catalase ...

Peculiarities of the antioxidant status of the thyroid gland
Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine, 2007The intensity of lipid peroxidation and activity of the antioxidant system in the thyroid gland were compared with those in the liver, kidney, heart, and frontal lobes of the cerebral hemispheres in euthyroid male Wistar rats. The thyroid gland was characterized by low activity of first-line antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase and catalase ...

Muscle Antioxidant Status in Chronic Alcoholism
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 2002Background Chronic myopathy due to excessive ethanol intake is one of the most frequent causes of acquired skeletal myopathy in developed countries. Its pathogenesis is multi‐factorial, only partially clarified, and antioxidant imbalance has been suggested to influence its development, being a type II glucolytic, fast‐twitch fiber subset more sensitive

Antioxidant status in peri- and postmenopausal women
Maturitas, 2015Menopause is a risk factor for oxidative stress. The aim of our study is to assess antioxidant system parameters (α-tocopherol, retinol, reduced glutathione, total antioxidant activity) in peri- and postmenopausal women. The antioxidant defense activity by estimation of total antioxidant activity, α-tocopherol, retinol, oxidized and reduced glutathione

Pathophysiology and antioxidant status of patients with fibromyalgia
Rheumatology International, 2010Fibromyalgia syndrome (FMS) is characterized by systemic pain of unknown etiology and is often accompanied by various psychological symptoms. Research on different parameters in fibromyalgia (FM) indicates that multifactors are involved in its pathophysiology; such as genetic factors, substance P, serotonin, hypothalamic pituitary adrenal axis (HPA ...

Antioxidant status of Fanconi anemia fibroblasts
Human Genetics, 1987Several observations in the recent literature have indicated that Fanconi anemia (FA) cells may be primarily deficient in the detoxification of activated oxygen species. To evaluate the antioxidant status of FA fibroblasts, we measured Mn-containing superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD), CuZn-containing superoxide dismutase (CuZn-SOD), catalase, and ...
