Coconut oil has been used by the people of Kerala as a cooking medium for several decades. Due to its alleged hypercholesterolemic activity, general population in recent times is shifting to cooking oils rich in polyunsaturated fats, the most popular being sunflower oil. The effect of long-term consumption of sunflower oil on oxidative stress in humans is not well investigated. We studied oxidative stress among coronary artery disease (CAD) patients who were consuming coconut oil or sunflower oil as a part of their routine diet. Men, aged 35–70 years, with established CAD, who presented to the hospital for routine cardiac evaluations, were enrolled in this observational study. Group 1 and 2 consisted of 73 and 80 subjects consuming coconut oil and sunflower oil respectively for over a period of 2 years. Lipid profile and parameters for oxidative stress were evaluated among them. Conventional lipid parameters did not differ significantly between the two groups. Mean vitamin C concentration was significantly reduced for subjects on sunflower oil compared to those consuming coconut oil (P = 0.044). Malondialdehyde was higher for sunflower oil consumers compared to coconut oil consumers (P < 0.0001). Other parameters such as oxidized LDL, GSH, GPx and SOD were not found to be significantly different between the two groups. The results of the present study show that coconut oil did not induce hypercholesterolemia compared to sunflower oil. On the other hand, sunflower oil group had elevated oxidative stress compared to coconut oil group. 相似文献

Free radicals play an important role in the pathogenesis of tissue damage in many clinical disorders, including atherosclerosis.
Antioxidants protect the body from damage caused by free radicals. In this study we investigated oxidative stress, antioxidants
and inflammatory molecules in patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study has been carried out on 106 patients with
acute myocardial infarction, (89 men and 17 females). The control group consisted of 50 healthy, age-matched subjects (40
men and 10 females). Levels of Glucose, lipid profile, glutathione reduced, glutathione peroxidase, Superoxide dismutase,
Glycosylated hemoglobin, fibrinogen, vitamin C, vitamin E, malondialdehyde, ceruloplasmin, adenosine deaminase, lysozyme and
sialic acid were measured. Malondialdehyde and ceruloplasmin levels were significantly high and antioxidants such as vitamin
C, vitamin E, glutathione reduced, glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase were significantly decreased in diabetic
and non-diabetic AMI patients as compared with control (p<0.001). Inflammatory markers showed significant rise in diabetic
patients as compared with controls. Our results clearly show increased inflammation and oxidative stress in patients with
acute myocardial infarction. Depression of antioxidant system in these patients confirms this conclusion. 相似文献

The study was designed to find out the correlation between lipid peroxidation, lipoprotein levels to severity and complication
of diabetes mellitus. Degree of lipid peroxidation was measured in terms of malondialdehyde (MDA) along with lipid profile
and blood glucose in diabetes mellitus. It is categorised into insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), non insulin dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and diabetes mellitus(DM) with complication.
Total 112 known diabetic patients and 52 non-diabetic controls were studied. These patients were grouped as per the concentration
of fasting blood glucose level i.e. controlled, poorly controlled, and uncontrolled group. There are significant increase
in the lipid peroxide (MDA) and lipid profile except HDL cholesterol which is decreased, has been found in all groups as compared
to controls In NIDDM group lipid peroxidation was markedly increased than IDDM group and it was higher in DM with complications.
Other finding observed was that the level of lipid peroxide increased as per the increase in concentration of blood glucose.
The increase lipid peroxidation in the hyperglycemic condition may be explained, as the superoxide dismutase enzyme which
is antioxidant becomes inactive due the formation of superoxide radical within the cell. Maximum lipid peroxidation leads
to the damage of the tissue and organs which results into complication in diabetic patients. High levels of total cholesterol
appear due to increased cholesterol synthesis. The triglyceride levels changes according to the glycemic, control. The increase
may be due to overproduction of VLDL-TG.
It is concluded that good metabolic control of hyperglycemia will prevent in alteration in peroxidation and the lipid metabolism,
which may help in good prognosis and preventing manifestation of vascular and secondary complication in diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The changes in the erythrocyte lipid peroxidation products (MDA), levels of glutathione (GSH), ascorbic acid and plasma vitamin
E (non enzymatic antioxidant parameters) and activities of antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase
(GPX), catalase in erythrocytes and plasma glutathione - S - transferase (GST) activity were estimated in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis. This work was undertaken to assess oxidative stress and anti oxidant status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
It was observed that there was a significant increase in erythrocyte MDA levels, activities of SOD, GPX, plasma GST and a significant decrease in erythrocyte GSH, ascorbic acid, plasma vitamin E levels and catalse activity in
patients with rheumatoid arthritis when compared to controls. The results of our study suggests higher oxygen free radical
production, evidenced by increased MDA and decreased GSH, ascorbic acid, vitamin E and Catalase activity, support to the oxidative
stress in rheumatoid arthritis. The increased activities of antioxidant enzymes may be a compensatory regulation in response
to increased oxidative stress. 相似文献

Effect of oral administration of 200 mg/Kg body weight of the aqueous extract ofOcimum sanctum (Tulsi) mixed with diet for eight weeks to diabetic (streptozotocin induced) rats was studied. There was significant reduction
in fasting blood glucose, serum lipid profile, lipid peroxidation products, (LPO) and improvement in glucose tolerance. The
aqueous extract also decreased LPO formation (thiobarbituric acid reactive substances TBARS) and increased antioxidant enzymes
superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), glutathione transferase (GT) and one antioxidant
reduced glutathione (GSH) in plasma and rat liver, lung, kidney and brain. The decrease in TBARS and increase in GSH, SOD,
CAT, GPX, and GT clearly shows the antioxidant property ofOcimum sanctum. 相似文献

This study was carried out to see the effect of the aqueous extract ofOcitum sanctum Linn (Tulsi) with Vitamin E on biochemical parameters and retinopathy in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic albino male
rats. Adult albino male rats weighing 150–200 gm were made diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin in the
dose 60 mg/kg in citrate buffer (pH 6.3). The diabetic animals were left for one month to develop retinopathy. Biochemical
parameters like plasma glucose, oral glucose tolerance and glycosylated hemoglobin HbA1c, were measured along with lipid profile, and enzymes like glutathione peroxidase (GPX), lipid peroxidase (LPO), superoxide
dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione-S-transferase (GST) in normal, untreated diabetic rats and diabetic rats treated
withOcimum sanctum L extracts and vitamin E. Fluorescein angiography test was done for assessing retinopathy. Results on biochemical parameters
were analyzed statistically by using ANOVA followed by Dunnet's ‘t’-test. A p-value of <0.05 was considered as significant.
Evaluation of biochemical profile in treated groups showed statistically significant reduction in plasma levels of glucose,
HbA1c, lipid profile and LPO, and elevation of GPX, SOD, CAT and GST. Treatment of the diabetic animals withOcimum sanctum and Vitamin E, alone and in combination for 16 weeks showed reversal of most of the parameters studied including plasma glucose
levels. Angiography showed improvement in retinal changes following combined antidiabetic treatment. 相似文献

A total of 41 healthy male pesticide sprayers exposed to different clases of pesticides for 3-5 years were compared with 21
controls matched for age and economic status with respect to free radical generation, lipid peroxidation, antioxidant status,
cholesterol, lipoprotein status and haematological profile. Plasma lipid peroxidation was estimated in the form of thiobarbituric
acid reactive substances (TBARS) produced. Significant increase in TBARS was observed in sprayers population when compared
with control subjects and the level of TBARS increased with increase in the duration of exposure. The levels of antioxidants
such as glutathione (GSH) were significantly depleted, whereas those of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were remarkably increased
than control population. Significant reduction in total cholesetrol, alteration in lipoprotein fractions and nonsignificant
changes in hematological parameters were observed. These results suggested that exposure to pesticidal residual drift augments
the free radical generation, and lipid peroxidation. Decline in non-enzymatic antioxidant and elevation of enzymatic antioxidant
were observed. Supplementation of α-tocopherol for 45 days resulted in the partial restoration of these biochemical changes
produced by pesticides. 相似文献

This study aimed to correlate the oxidative stress marker levels in saliva with the clinical stage based on mouth opening, fibrotic bands and histopathological grades of oral submucous fibrosis (OSF) patients. The study included patients clinically diagnosed with OSF (n = 63) and equal number of age and gender matched controls. Patients with OSF were defined by mouth opening stage, fibrotic bands and histopathological grades. Unstimulated saliva from both control and OSF patients were analysed for oxidative markers like lipid peroxides (LPO), non-enzymic antioxidants [reduced glutathione (GSH), vitamin A, vitamin E, vitamin C] and enzymatic antioxidants [glutathione peroxidase (GPx), superoxide dismutase (SOD)] and correlated with different stages and grades. Total salivary protein and LPO were significantly increased in OSF group with no significant change in the levels of GSH compared to controls. In OSF patients, a significant decrease in the levels of vitamins A, C and E was observed. The activities of salivary SOD and GPx were significantly decreased in OSF patients compared to controls. These changes significantly correlated with the increasing and differing grades of OSF that reflects increased oxidative stress with the progress of OSF. 相似文献

This study was undertaken to evaluate the levels of plasma magnesium, lipid peroxides, nitric oxide end products, erythrocyte
membrane lipid peroxides, erythrocyte reduced glutathione and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity in type-2 diabetes
mellitus patients. 60 patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus and 30 healthy control subjects were included in this study.
Among 60 type-2 diabetic patients, 30 patients were without complication and 30 patients were with various complications.
Decreased levels of plasma magnesium, erythrocyte reduced glutathione and erythrocyte superoxide dismutase activity while
increased levels of plasma lipid peroxides, nitric oxide end products and erythrocyte membrane lipid peroxides were observed
in patients with type-2 diabetes mellitus. We propose that, under the shadow of hypomagnesaemia, there is excessive production
of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species as reflected by elevated lipid peroxides and nitric oxide end products
concomitant with dwindled antioxidants and suggest their association with late complications in type-2 diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Picrorhiza kurrooa is mentioned in Ayurveda for the treatment of many disorders, but it has not been subjected to systematic
scientific investigations to assess its antidiabetic effect. The oral administration of aqueous and methanol extracts of P.
kurrooa rhizomes (250 and 500 mg / kg body weight / day) for 15 days significantly reduced blood glucose, glycosylated haemoglobin
and increased total hemoglobin, plasma insulin in alloxan-induced diabetes in albino rats. The treatment also showed significant
correction in the level of nitric oxide radicals, superoxide radicals, peroxynitrite radical, lipid peroxidation, glutathione,
glutathione reductase, glutathione-S-transferase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase and catalase in the pancreas
of alloxan diabetic rats. 相似文献

Coronary Artery Disease is the major cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Traditional risk factors account for only
half of the morbidity and mortality from coronary artery disease. There is substantial evidence that oxidative stress plays
the major role in the atherosclerotic process. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the level of lipid peroxidation
(by measuring malondialdehyde) and antioxidant enzymes (ceruloplasmin, glutathione, superoxide dismutase) in coronary artery
disease. Serum malondialdehyde levels and serum ceruloplasmin levels were significantly raised in all the subgroups of study
group as compared to control group (p<0.001). Whole blood glutathione levels and hemolysate superoxide dismutase activity
was significantly decreased in all the subgroups of study group as compared to control group (p<0.001). Above results suggests
that the patients of coronary artery disease show increased oxidative stress and decreased levels of antioxidant enzymes.
So it is recommended that the management protocol for coronary artery disease patients should include antioxidant supplementation
along with simultaneous lowering of lipid peroxidation. 相似文献

The effect of oral administration of vitamin E for twenty-eight consecutive days on blood glucose, reduced glutathione levels,
antioxidant enzymes (superoxide dismutase and catalase activities), and levels of malondialdehyde (as an index of free radical-mediated
lipid peroxidation) was observed in the whole blood and liver of normal and alloxan-induced diabetic rats. It was found that
oral administration of vitamin E significantly (p<0.05) lowered the blood glucose level and increased the body weight of the
diabetic rats. The activities of superoxide dismutase and levels of reduced glutathione increased significantly (p<0.05) while
the level of lipid peroxidation decreased. 相似文献

The main objective of the study was to assess the oxidative stress in plasma and erythrocytes of rheumatoid arthritis patients
by measuring the levels of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), non-enzymatic antioxidants (vitamin E, C and reduced
glutathione) and enzymatic antioxidants [superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx)]. This
study has been conducted on twenty-two adult female rheumatoid arthritis patients and an equal number of healthy subjects.
Elevated lipid peroxidation and multidirectional changes in the antioxidant defence system were noticed in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis. The enhanced lipid peroxidation accompanied by disturbance in antioxidant status indicates that rheumatoid arthritis
patients are more prone to free radical mediated oxidative damage. 相似文献

Oxidative stress contributes to the cascade, leading to dopamine cell degeneration in Parkinson’s disease. However, oxidative
stress is intimately linked to other components of the degenerative process, such as mitochondrial dysfunction, excitotoxicity,
nitric oxide toxicity and inflammation. It is therefore difficult to determine whether oxidative stress leads to or is a consequence
of, these events. Oxidative stress was assessed by estimating lipid peroxidation product in the form of thiobarbituric acid
reactive substances, nitric oxide in the form of nitrite & nitrate. Enzymatic antioxidants in the form of superoxide dismutase,
glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ceruloplasmin and non enzymatic antioxidant vitamins e.g. vitamin E and C in either serum
or plasma or erythrocyte in 40 patients of Parkinson’s disease in the age group 40–80 years. Trace elements e.g. copper, zinc
and selenium were also estimated. Plasma thiobarbituric acid reactive substances and nitric oxide levels were Significantly
high but superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, catalase, ceruloplasmin, vitamin-E, vitamin-C, copper, zinc and selenium
levels were significantly low in Parkinson’s disease when compared with control subjects. Present study showed that elevated
oxidative stress may be playing a role in dopaminergic neuronal loss in substentia nigra pars compacta and involved in pathogenesis
of the Parkinson’s disease. 相似文献

Oxidative stress is implicated in the etiopathogenesis of a variety of human diseases. Therefore, in the present study, erythrocyte
lipid peroxidation, percentage hemolysis, antioxidant enzymes viz., glutathione reductase, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide
dismutase and plasma antioxidants viz., ceruloplasmin, vitamins A,E and C have been determined in 19 patients with tubercular
meningitis (TBM) and 50 normals. Six patients who were treated with antibiotics were considered for the follow up. The statistical
analysis was carried out by Mann Whitney U test and Wilcoxon rank sum test. Lipid peroxidation (P<0.02), percentage hemolysis
(P<0.001) and plasma ceruloplasmin (P<0.0001) of TBM patients were significantly higher, whereas erythrocyte glutathione reductase
(P<0.05) and plasma antioxidant vitamins A, E and C (P<0.01, P<0.05 respectively) were significantly lower than those of the
controls. In the follow up patients the glutathione reductase and catalase levels were significantly high (P<0.05) compared
to their pre-treated condition. Vitamin C and E levels have attained normal range. This study indicated that the blood antioxidant
status of TBM patients which was low compared to controls improved after treatment, suggesting the role of free radicals in
TBM. 相似文献

To study the mechanism of action of water soluble compound GII purified from fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum) seeds which was shown earlier to have antidiabetic effect in the subdiabetic, moderately and severely diabetic rabbits.
In rabbits (1–1.5 kg bw) diabetes was induced by intravenous injection of 80 mg/kg bw of alloxan. They were fed with GII at
a dose of 50 mg/kg bw daily once in the morning for 15 days in the subdiabetic and moderately diabetic and 30 days in the
severely diabetic rabbits. Serum total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), LDL + VLDL cholesterol [(LDL + VLDL)C], HDL cholesterol
[(HDL)C], total tissue lipids, glycogen and enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism (glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, polyol pathway)
hexokinase, glucokinase, pyruvate kinase, malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, aldose reductase
and sorbitol dehydrogenase and antioxidant enzymes glutathione peroxidase, glutathione reductase and superoxide dismutase
were estimated. Liver and kidney function parameters were also estimated. Treatment with GII for 15 days in the subdiabetic
and moderately diabetic rabbits and for 30 days in the severely diabetic rabbits (i) decreased the elevated lipids TC, TG,
(LDL + VLDL)C and increased the decreased (HDL)C, (ii) decreased the elevated liver and heart total lipids, TC and TG, (iii)
increased the decreased liver and muscle glycogen, (iv) increased the decreased hexokinase, glucokinase, pyruvate kinase,
malic enzyme, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase, (v) decreased the increased
glucose-6-phosphatase, sorbitol dehydrogenase, aldose reductase. Results thus show that treatment with GII compound purified
from fenugreek seeds for 15 days in the subdiabetic and moderately diabetic and 30 days in the severely diabetic rabbits corrects
the altered serum lipids, tissue lipids, glycogen, enzymes of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, glycogen metabolism, polyol pathway
and antioxidant enzymes. Histopathological abnormalities (fatty infiltration and other cellular changes) seen in the pancreas,
liver, heart and kidneys were repaired after treatment with GII. In fact partially damaged pancreas was repaired. Liver and
kidney function test results were normal in the GII treated animals indicating that GII treatment is safe and free from any
side effects. 相似文献

Serum lipid profile, apolipoprotein-B (apo-B), malondialdehyde levels(MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity were assessed
in 12 cases of xanthelasma with and without coronary artery disease (CAD)/hypertension (HTN) and results are compared with
healthy controls. Dyslipidemia was found in 65% cases of xanthelasma as compared to 20% healthy controls. Xanthelasma patients
had significantly high malondialdehyde (MDA) levels (p<0.01) and significantly decreased (p<0.05) SOD activity as compared
to controls. Among xanthelasma patients, xanthelasma with CAD/HTN showed higher total cholesterol (236±32.7 vs 188±24.7 mg/dl),
low density lipoprotein cholesterol (157±35.5 vs 113±16 mg/dl) and Apo-B (120.5±9.4 vs 114±19.2 mg/dl) levels as compared
to xanthelasma without CAD/HTN. Results of our study indicate that xanthelasma patients with increased apo-B, MDA and decreased
SOD need cardiovascular monitoring. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to investigate the oxidant–antioxidant status in iron deficient pregnant anemic women. One
hundred thirty pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia (IDA) were divided into three groups, namely mild (50), moderate
(50) and severe (30) anemic along with pregnant healthy women as controls (50). The complete blood count, plasma lipid peroxidation
products, enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants were measured according to respective protocols. The levels of complete
blood count, iron, ferritin along with antioxidant enzymes namely catalase, superoxide dismutase, glutathione peroxidase,
glutathione reductase and reduced glutathione were significantly reduced in all IDA groups. However, the level of oxidized
glutathione, lipid peroxides, protein carbonyls, conjugated dienes were found significantly increased in all anemic patients.
Antioxidant vitamins, namely C, E and A were also found significantly decreased in IDA patients. On the basis of our results,
it may be concluded that IDA tends to increase the pro-oxidant components, which may result in various complications including
peroxidation of vital body molecules resulting in increased risk for pregnant women as well as fetus. 相似文献

Evidence of increased oxidative stress in patients of osteoarthritis in comparison with healthy control subjects was investigated
by measuring the thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS), vitamin C, reduced glutathione (GSH) and the activities
of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in erythrocytes. It was observed that osteoarthritis
patients were more susceptible to oxidative damage than controls as evident from increased TBARS and decreased ascorbic acid,
GSH, catalase and GPx in erythrocytes. Significant increase in SOD activity found in patients might be an adaptive response.
With the understanding of the role of antioxidants in arthritis, it is becoming increasingly clear that these agents seem
to be beneficial in osteoarthritis. 相似文献

Ethanol-induced liver injury may be linked, at least partly, to an oxidative stress resulting from increased free radical
production and/or decreased antioxidant defence. Distinguishing alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver disease has important implications.
This study looked at the possible changes between alcoholic and non-alcoholic liver diseases by examining the presence of
oxidative damage, as monitored by several parameters relating to oxidative stress. Lipid peroxides concentration, superoxide
dismutase activity and glutathione S-transferase activity increased, where as glutathione content, glutathione peroxidase
activity and glutathione reductase activity decreased among the tested subjects in comparison to normal healthy group. Determination
of these parameters may be valuable in the evaluation of liver disease. However, oxidative stress related enzymes and non-enzymes
can not be utilized as a marker for alcoholic liver diseases, as these parameters responded in the same way after liver is
damaged irrespective of their cause. Their level may help in determining the degree of liver damage. Degree of oxidative injury
was similar in patients with non-alcoholic liver disease and in moderate drinkers; while significantly higher in heavy drinkers.
The differences between the groups might be based on the type of liver pathological condition rather than its etiology (i.e.
alcohol and non alcohol related causes). 相似文献
