A glutathione redox cycle is a major antioxidant defense system for the detoxification of reactive oxygen species within erythrocytes.
Reactive oxygen species such as superoxide anions, hydrogen peroxide and hydroxyl radicals are generated as a host defense
mechanism for killing of engulfed Leishmania donovani, a causative agent of visceral leishmaniasis, are capable of damaging
lipids and other biomolecules when produced in excess. Erythrocytes are most vulnerable to Reactive oxygen species. In present
study we aimed to evaluate erythrocyte reduced glutathione (GSH) levels as an antioxidant and erythrocyte malondialdehyde
(MDA) as a marker of lipid peroxidation. The study included twenty-five Visceral leishmaniasis patients and they were followed
up after their complete chemotherapy with antileishmanial drugs (sodium stibogluconate) for 30 days. Forty six age and sex
matched healthy individuals were taken as controls. GSH levels in erythrocytes of visceral leishmaniasis patients were increased
in spite of significant increased erythrocyte MDA as compared to controls. Whereas erythrocyte GSH and MDA levels of follow
up patients were decreased as compared to patients before treatment groups. We concluded that visceral leishmaniasis patients
are in oxidative stress which most likely induces the endogenous antioxidant such as GSH or its poor utilization by cells. 相似文献

The objective of the present study is to evaluate the beneficial effect of tomatoes, which are rich source of Lycopene, relatively
a new carotenoid known to play an important role in human health and disease. In this study lipid peroxidation rate was measured
by estimating Malondialdehyde and the levels of serum enzymes involved in antioxidant activities like Super Oxide Dismutase,
Glutathione Peroxidase, Glutathione Reductase, Reduced Glutathione, in type-II diabetic group (n=40) and age matched control
group (n=50), and observed significantly lower levels of antioxidant enzymes and very high lipid peroxidation rate in type-II
diabetes when compared to control group (p<0.001). Short term supplementation with tomatoes (cooked) to diabetic group for
a period of 30 days, showed a significant improvement in antioxidant enzyme levels (p<0.001) and decreased lipid peroxidation
rate (p<0.001) suggesting the supplementation with tomato lycopene may serve as the best method of preventing the oxidative
stress in diabetic patients. 相似文献

With the growing interest in the concept of free radicals in the pathogenesis of myocardial ischemia, it was thought worthwhile
to study the changes in lipid peroxides and antioxidant enzyme glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in ischemic heart disease (IHD).
The study was carried out on 76 patients of IHD-38 of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and 38 of stable ischemic heart disease
(SIDH). They were age and sex matched with 38 normal healthy controls. A significant increase (p<0.001) in lipid peroxides
as malondialdehyde (MDA) (5.9±0.7 mmol/L) and a decrease in GPx (24.6±2.2 U/gmHb) was found in patients of AMI when compared
with controls. There was no significant difference in these values in SIHD. Thus this study confirms the earlier findings
that MDA and GPx are useful parameters in IHD and their magnitude is dependent on severity and/or duration of ischemia. We
suggest that these tests would be of use in smaller institutions with limited facilities. 相似文献

Blood glutathione was estimated in fifty patients of head and neck cancer in the age group of 18–76 years and the results
were compared with a group of normal healthy controls. Mean blood glutathione level was found to be significantly lowered
in patients than the controls. Irrespective of the site, TNM classification, histopathology, and character of lesion, fall
in blood glutathione was nearly same in all the patients. The mean level was significantly increased after radiotherapy when
compared with the levels before radiotherapy. The decreased levels of GSH in-patients with head and neck cancer, observed
in the present study, may be due to its increased utilization by the cells. The results suggest that patients with head and
neck cancer have increased oxidative stress. 相似文献

Preanalytical errors contribute to a large proportion of total laboratory errors. In order to achieve continuous laboratory
improvement, it is important to focus on all phases of patient specimen testing i.e. preanalytical, analytical and post-analytical.
With large variations in the way venous blood specimens are collected using diverse devices in the country, the effect of
such practices on specimen quality is not known. The purpose of this study was to monitor fourteen specimen preanalytical
quality indicators in order to compare the usage of evacuated blood collection devices with needle and syringe open collection
using either disposable tubes or re-washed glass vials. The study involved 26638 patient specimens assessed over a period
of 6 months. The results demonstrated that evacuated closed blood collection resulted in an approximate 100-fold reduction
in the incidence of hemolysis in samples. Similarly, there was a 200-fold reduction in incidence of insufficient specimen
quantity while using evacuated collection system. It was also found that incidence of specimen contamination, improper volume
of sample collected, and specimen spillage was also lower when the evacuated collection system was used. Further, it was also
observed that the facility with a laboratory information system demonstrated much lower specimen identification and related
errors. The observed results clearly demonstrate that the usage of the evacuated blood collection system resulted in improvement
of preanalytical specimen quality as compared to needle and syringe usage. 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

In 1859, Robert Kennicott, one of the most promising specimen collectors and young naturalists in the United States, was dispatched to Hudson's Bay Territory by Spencer Fullerton Baird, the Assistant Secretary of the Smithsonian. Kennicott was chosen because of previous experience in Canada, the familiarity with biota of the American Midwest, and because he had a boundless, infectious, enthusiasm for natural history that was typical among Baird's closest protégées. Kennicott was a natural scientific envoy--or missionary--to the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company, and many officers were enthusiastically 'converted' to the cause of collecting and/or overseeing the collection of natural history specimens. Due to this collaboration between Baird, Kennicott and the officers of the Hudson's Bay Company, the Smithsonian became a leading center of Canadian natural history in the Western hemisphere. 相似文献

Several chemicals which induce cytotoxicity are broadly classified into three types and they are organophosphate, organochlorine
and carbomate compounds. Perchloroethylene has been clearly identified as a carcinogen in experimental animals and it’s a
very common carcinogen used for dry clean purpose. Hence, in the present study, blood samples from dry cleaners were taken,
Superoxide dismutase, Catalase and Glutathione peroxidase activity was estimated in blood samples of dry cleaners. There was
a significant increase in the activity of Catalase, Glutathione Peroxidase, Superoxide Dismutase in dry cleaners of chronically
exposed to perchloroethylene as compared to controls. The increased activities of antioxidant enzymes may be a compensatory
regulation in response to increased oxidative stress induced by perchloroethylene. 相似文献

Improving specimen quality as well as healthcare worker (HCW) safety poses significant concerns for today’s laboratories.
With an increasing number of diagnostic tests requested, laboratory professionals are faced with challenges to reduce laboratory
errors, improve the quality of laboratory results to assure accurate diagnosis and implement initiatives to ensure healthcare
worker safety and minimize risk of exposure to bloodborne pathogens. A prior study conducted in 2008 reported that variations
in blood collection methods for clinical chemistry assays may affect overall specimen quality. As a follow up, the current
study assessed the quality of 22563 patient specimens for cell counting in EDTA blood collection tubes that were obtained
with needle and syringe collection (open) using either disposable tubes or re-washed glass vials or with an evacuated blood
collection system (closed). Based on the observations, the use of the evacuated blood collection system resulted in better
preanalytical specimen quality as compared with needle and syringe collection. The findings also showed an approximately 70-fold
reduction in the incidence of clotting as well as fewer instrument-generated flags using the evacuated collection system.
In addition, the use of an evacuated collection system for venous blood collection demonstrated lesser chance of blood exposure
to healthcare workers. 相似文献

A disturbance in the antioxidant defense system including α-tocopherol, ascorbic acid and reduced glutahtione metabolism due
to free radical induced oxidative injury has been implicated in various neuro-psychiatric disorders. The roles of these antioxidants,
changes in their blood levels and correlation with oxidative stress were studied in a common psychiatric illness Schizophrenia.
Fifty-eight subjects of either sex ranging in age from 18–60 years divided into two age groups (≤40 and >40 years) diagnosed
for schizophrenia, and forty age and sex-matched normal subjects as controls were included in the study. Blood samples were
analyzed for malondialdehyde (MDA), α-tocopherol, total ascorbic acid (TAA), dehydro ascorbic acid (DHAA), reduced ascorbic
acid (RAA), leucocyte ascorbic acid (LAA) and reduced glutathione (GSH). A decrease in the levels of α-tocopherol, total ascorbic
acid and reduced glutathione was found in schizophrenics compared to normal controls. Further a significant rise in oxidative
stress and decreased antioxidant status was observed in the chronic stage of schizophrenia as compared to those in acute condition.
A significant rise in dehydroascorbic acid with concomitant fall in reduced ascorbic acid suggests scavenging action of ascorbic
acid and its utilization with increased oxidative stress as indicated by high blood malondialdehyde levels. Leucocyte ascorbic
acid, a better index of ascorbic acid status was also found to be reduced in schizophrenics, suggesting depletion of body
stores of ascorbic acid and the condition worsened with advancing age. 相似文献

In this communication, we show the modulatory potential of papaverine, an opium alkaloid and a well known vasodilator agent
on the ethanol-induced hepatic oxidative stress in male Wistar rats. Ethanol treatment (50% v/v) enhanced lipid peroxidation
significantly accompanied by a decline in the activities of glutathione peroxidase (G-Px), glutathione reductase (GR) and
depletion in levels of hepatic glutathione (GSH). Ethanol administration increased hepatic glutathione-s-transferases (GST).
Enhanced lipid peroxidation induced by ethanol was significantly reduced when papverine was coadministered (P<0.05). In addition,
the depleted levels of glutathione and inhibited activities of G-Px and GR recovered significantly (P<0.05) levelling off
to control values on co-exposure. Papaverine (200 mg/kg bw) effectively antagonised the ethanol-induced lipid peroxidation
and impaired glutathione levels and glutathione dependent enzyme systems. Our results suggest that papaverine is an effective
chemopreventive agent in the liver and may suppress the ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity. 相似文献

In this study, we compared the lipid profile and antioxidant enzymes of normal and diabetic subjects consuming two different
types of oil as cooking medium. 70 normal, healthy subjects were taken as controls and 70 subjects with Type 2 diabetes were
recruited in patient group. Each group was further subdivided into two subgroups of 35 subjects each, consuming coconut oil
and sunflower oil respectively as cooking medium. Samples of blood were collected and analyzed for serum total cholesterol,
triacylglycerols, and cholesterol in lipoprotein fractions. Total glutathione and glutathione peroxidase were measured in
erythrocytes and superoxide dismutase in serum. Triacylglycerols, LDL and VLDL cholesterol levels were high in the diabetic
subjects compared to the controls. Total glutathione and glutathione peroxidase values showed significant decrease in diabetic
subjects as compared to the controls, while superoxide dismutase values showed significant difference between coconut oil
consuming groups. Though lipid profile parameters and oxidative stress were high in Type 2 diabetic subjects compared to controls,
no pronounced changes for these parameters were observed between the subgroups (coconut oil vs. sunflower oil). 相似文献

Alcohol induced oxidative stress is linked to the metabolism of ethanol. In this study it has been observed that administration
of ethanol in lower concentration caused gain in body and liver weight. while higher concentration of ethanol caused lesser
gain in body and liver weight. Ethanol treatment enhanced lipid peroxidation significantly, depletion in levels of hepatic
glutathione and ascorbate, accompanied by a decline in the activities of glutathione peroxidase and glutathione reductase,
and increased in hepatic glutathione s-transferase activity. Interestingly catalase activity increases in lower concentration
of ethanol exposure, and decreased in higher concentration. Superoxide dismutase activity was also increased on ethanol exposure.
But, ethanol feeding did not show any effect on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity. Ethanol ingestion perturbs the
antioxidant system in a dose and time dependent manner. 相似文献

Damaging effects of reactive oxygen species on living systems are well documented. They include oxidative attack on vital
cell constituents. Chronic ethanol administration is able to induce an oxidative stress in the central nervous system. In
the present study, 16–18 week-old male albino rats of Wistar strain were exposed to different concentration of ethanol for
4 weeks. This exposure showed profound effect on body weight. Ascorbic acid level; and activities of alkaline phosphatase
and aspartate transaminase in the brain are dependent on the concentration of ethanol exposure. Chronic ethanol ingestion
elicits statistically significant increase in thiobarbituric acid reactive substances level and decrease in gluatathione level
in the brain. It reduces superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and glutathione reductase activities in a
dose dependent manner. However, histological examination could not reveal any pathophysiological changes. Therefore, we conclude
that biochemical alterations and oxidative stress related parameters respond early in alcoholism than the histopathological
changes in brain. 相似文献

Vitiligo is an idiopathic, acquired, circumscribed, hypomelanotic skin disorder, characterized by milky white patches of different
sizes and shapes. It is due to the destruction of melanocytes resulting in the absence of pigment production of the skin and
mucosal surfaces. Oxidative stress has been implicated in pathophysiology of vitiligo. To study the activity of blood Superoxide
dismutase (SOD) and Glutathione peroxidase (GPx) in vitiligo patients. A case–control study was conducted in which 100 patients
were enrolled after written consent. 50 cases were of active vitiligo and 50 served as control (25 healthy control and 25
with stable vitiligo). SOD—In our study, among the active vitiligo cases 90% had high level of SOD and 10% had normal level
of SOD. Among the stable vitiligo controls, 92% had normal level of SOD and 8% had low levels of SOD.The difference between
active vitiligo cases and stable vitiligo control as well as with healthy control was statistically significant (P value < 0.05). GPx—Among the active vitiligo cases 74% had normal GPx levels, 22% had low and only 4% had high levels of
GPx. Among the stable vitiligo controls, 64% had normal GPx levels, 16% had low, and 20% had high levels of GPx. The difference
between active vitiligo cases and stable vitiligo control as well as with healthy control was statistically not significant
(P value > 0.05). Our study shows that oxidative stress is involved in the pathophysiology of vitiligo, as indicated by the
high levels of serum superoxide dismutase activity. 相似文献
